South Dakota regulators refuse to pause on Summit Carbon Solutions’ pipeline permit decision

South Dakota regulators have refused to pause proceedings on Summit Carbon Solutions’ pipeline permits.

They are forcing the company to present its plan for moving forward after a new state law barred its use of eminent domain.
Summit has been seeking this permit for its $9 billion pipeline since 2022. The project would carry carbon dioxide from ethanol plants across five states to underground storage sites in North Dakota.

The company currently has permits in place in North Dakota, Minnesota, and Iowa.

Summit’s attorney argues the company needs more time to consider its options.
