(Des Moines, IA) Governor Kim Reynolds says carbon pipelines are private sector projects and she does not support direct state investment in any of the pipelines that are proposed. During her Condition of the State address last week, Reynolds called for investment in what she described as carbon capture solutions. Reynolds says she’s talking about state money for Iowa State University research focused on how Iowa farmers could secure carbon credits for planting crops. There are now three proposed pipeline projects to carry liquid carbon through the state, with terminals to pick up stored carbon emissions from Iowa fertilizer and ethanol plants.
