Happy Wednesday!
We love a follow-up, yet alone good
news. We blogged on Summit Carbon
Solutions back in March 2023 and the hang-ups they had progressing
their CO2 pipeline. They were in the
news earlier in June due to a favorable ruling from North Dakota’s Supreme Court.
Now they are in the news again for something positive which progresses the
project, even more!
Did anyone happen to read the
Oil & Gas Journal’s Daily Update Newsletter on June 28, 2024,
their article titled, “Summit gets Iowa approval of 18-milion tpy CO2 pipeline”? The
article is about Summit Carbon Solutions’ application for their 18-million tonne/year Midwest
Carbon Express Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) Pipeline project and its favorable
final decision by the Iowa Utilities Board (IUB) last week. After a lengthy hearing process with
hundreds of witnesses and exhibits the IUB gave a favorable final decision with
stipulations including they must get North and South Dakota’s approval of the
route and sites in their respective states before starting construction in Iowa
as well as a few others before they issue the final permit. Summit Carbon Solutions is in process
of filing in South Dakota for their permit which is expected to be filed in
July. Summit Carbon Solutions has
expanded their pipeline with the addition of Poet, LLC and Valero Renewable
Fuels Co., LLC, and filed an additional permit with the IUB with a public
hearing possibly toward the end of the year.

Summit Carbon Solutions’ Midwest Carbon Express CCS Pipeline project is expected to
cross five states and cover approximately 2,000 miles. The pipeline will end in North Dakota where
the carbon dioxide will be stored underground in geologic formations. The Midwest Carbon Express Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) Pipeline proposed
route.
