(Guthrie Co) The Guthrie County Board of Supervisors this morning approved a draft resolution objecting to the Iowa Utilities Board’s authority to enact eminent domain authority within Guthrie County for privately owned and operated carbon dioxide pipelines.
Supervisor Brian Johnson…
Summit Carbon Solutions plans to partner with numerous ethanol plants across Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Nebraska to capture carbon dioxide from the fermentation process of ethanol plants and send it to North Dakota via underground pipelines, where it will be stored permanently and safely. The original plan for Summit Carbon Solutions was to install a network of 690 miles of pipe, however, when another company abandoned plans for a similar project, Summit Carbon Solutions proposed an expansion of another 340 miles in the state. The expansion includes Guthrie County.
In other action, the Supervisors approved the appointments of Quinten Pote and Ryan Recker as Medical Examiner Investigators.
