Summit Carbon Solutions is modifying its 9 billion dollar carbon capture pipeline by removing eight Iowa counties and shifting the final sequestration site from North Dakota to Wyoming. The company aims to capture carbon dioxide from Midwest ethanol plants to qualify for federal tax credits and produce low-carbon fuels for aviation and marine use. This route change follows legal hurdles in South Dakota regarding eminent domain. Summit also confirmed that captured carbon may be used for enhanced oil recovery in Wyoming to maintain project viability amid ongoing opposition from landowners.
