Summit, an Ames company that calls its project Midwest Carbon Express, proposes building about 680 miles of pipeline across 29 of the state's 99 counties. Altogether, it would travel 2,000 miles across and into four other states: Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Nebraska. Summit has filed a petition with state regulators, requesting a pipeline permit and the utilities board has started reviewing the request. No details are available on the cost of ADM's project. Summit says the project, which the company calls the world's largest, will cost $4.5 billion Navigator, $3 billion. Summit and Navigator have started the process to get hazardous liquid pipeline permits from the Iowa Utilities Board. Summit Carbon plans to sequester carbon in North Dakota Navigator CO2 and ADM, in Illinois. The companies plan to use pressure to liquify the carbon dioxide, transport it and then inject it deep underground where it will be permanently sequestered. Three companies - Summit Carbon Solutions, Navigator CO2 Ventures and Archer Daniel Midlands Co., partnering with Wolf Carbon Solutions - want to build pipelines that will be used to move carbon dioxide captured from ethanol, fertilizer and other agricultural industrial plants. Here's what we know so far about the projects. Many have been objections, with Iowans questioning whether the pipelines are needed, are safe and should be allowed to cross valuable farmland that's been passed down through generations. The projects are controversial, netting roughly 750 comments to the Iowa Utilities Board through February. Three companies have proposed building multibillion-dollar pipelines across Iowa to move carbon dioxide so it can be sequestered deep underground, potentially cutting greenhouse gas emissions from ethanol, fertilizer and other industrial ag plants.
