Ames, Iowa — Summit Carbon Solutions wants to lay a carbon pipeline across parts of Iowa, though some landowners refuse to sign easement agreements.
Lee Blank, Summit Carbon Solutions Chief Executive Officer, tells KIWA what the carbon pipeline will do.
He says once the carbon is captured it will be transported through the pipeline to North Dakota where it will be stored roughly a mile and a half “safely underground.”
Blank says the pipeline can only help the ethanol industry.
Blank tells us that not only will the pipeline help the ethanol industry, but farmers as well.
Blank wants farmers to know that the pipeline will not ruin their land.
He says the pipeline should help the value of the land.
He says the company is very pleased with how northwest Iowa has taken to the project. He says over 1,000 landowners have signed easement agreements.
Blank added a message to landowners who aren’t sure about the pipeline.
