A new law in South Dakota prohibiting the use of eminent domain to acquire land for carbon capture pipelines challenges the viability of a proposed project snaking through five Midwest states
A new South Dakota law prohibiting eminent domain for carbon capture pipelines challenges the viability of Summit Carbon Solutions' proposed 2,500-mile Midwest pipeline, designed to transport greenhouse gas emissions from ethanol plants to North Dakota for storage. While Summit vows to continue the project and has approvals in other states, the law complicates routing in South Dakota, potentially impacting the ethanol industry and requiring renegotiation or rerouting.
