Summit Carbon Solutions continues conversations with landowners for pipeline route

The backers of the Summit Carbon Solutions pipeline expect to have most land easements in hand and a final route selected later this year.

Chief Commercial Officer Jim Pirolli says they are still adjusting the potential pipeline route in eastern South Dakota.

At a forum at Dakotafest, Pirolli says they have about 30% of the necessary easements in hand.

Pirolli says any use of eminent domain to get access to land is a long way off.

The pipeline would transport liquid carbon dioxide from ethanol plants in Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota– including Ringneck Energy at Onida– to underground storage in central North Dakota.
