Summit Carbon Solutions waiting on PUC approval

Summit Carbon Solutions has submitted their full application to the South Dakota Public Utilities Commission, while at the same time continuing to work on landowner access and easements for their carbon dioxide pipeline.

Summit CEO Lee Blank said they are a long way from talking about eminent domain for the route.

Opponents have pointed to the high-pressure CO2 pipeline as a possible hazard. Blank said it’s using known and tested technology.

Blank said while they would like to start construction next spring, they have to wait for PUC approval.

The pipeline would transport liquid carbon dioxide from ethanol plants across the region and pump it to underground storage in central North Dakota.
