Pierre, SD — Summit Carbon Solutions is asking the South Dakota Public Utilities Commission to halt proceedings on a permit application for its proposed carbon capture pipeline. It’s not a cancellation of the application, but a request for a suspension, and an indefinite extension of the deadline.
The news comes a week after the South Dakota governor signed a law banning the use of eminent domain to obtain land for a carbon pipeline. Summit’s permit is approved in Iowa, but includes a provision that says they can not begin construction until they gain approval in all other proposed states.
The pipeline is proposed to pass through a number of counties in northwest Iowa and southwest Minnesota, including Dickinson.
