South Dakotans Voice Their Support for Carbon Capture Projects
Despite some tough headlines and a complex and unpredictable regulatory process, support for carbon capture projects continues to grow throughout South Dakota. Local residents are showing elected officials at all levels there is support for carbon capture projects and that people want the review process to continue.
Summit Carbon Solutions is working with cities, counties, and states to update and revise plans for their important project. This means more work to navigate the thorough permitting process to keep things focused on getting the projects done. As this work continues, public support is strong and growing.
More than 3,100 South Dakotans have directly shown their support for carbon capture, transportation, and storage projects, specifically Summit Carbon Solutions. Over 1,000 messages have been sent to County Commissioners, State Legislators, Governor Noem, and the South Dakota Congressional Delegation in support.
Landowners, small business owners, ethanol plants, and farmers are working together to back these important economic development projects. These folks have collectively raised their voices to show elected officials there is strong support for CCS projects that will allow for a strong and stable future for our corn growers, for the ethanol industry, and for South Dakota communities.
Midwest Ag Future believes that by bringing voices together, we can support the right vision for a brighter future by showing the incredible support for carbon capture, transportation, and storage projects.

Who and what is Midwest ag future? Did one of the carbon companies set it up?
So 0.361107972 % of South Dakota is in favor carbon capture projects ?
Not really much to brag about.
I am stull waiting for someone, anyone , to tell me the ramifications of pumping CO2 underground….the safety, etc. Does it get resorbed into the ground? Are there any safety concerns with underground aquifer?
Since this issue is a result of the “solurion” to an unproven “clmate change crisis,” and might later be worse than the “crisis,” maybe it behooves an answer to my concerns.
I am still waiting for Gore’s oceans to rise, which by the way, Obama doesn’t subscribe to either as he bought a home on the ocean shore. I am still waiting for those crying about CO2 pollution to ditch their private jets and mansions and multiple cars.
I’m with you. Carbon Pipelines are good, oil pipelines are bad? I think they should pump carbon north one week and the next week they should pump oil south. This whole climate change is about chasing the federal government money. I’m old enough to remember the time the federal government tried to have solar energy in the late 70’s It all fell on it’s face one the money dried up. The one start up in SD, took place in Parker, SD. The only good thing that came out of that was that the county bought the building for pennies on the dollar for a maintenance building. Total sham.
Sorry about the typos. Forgot to proofread.
Has anyone opposed to the pipelines and carbon sequestration yet identified how they plan on boosting or even maintaining corn prices when the ethanol industry folds due to them being unable to meet the increasing carbon mitigation requirements from California, Canada, and other international markets?
Thinking that we can affect climate is the problem. They want us to limit CO2 while China, India, and other countries increase their output of same. The states you mention can keep on emitting whatever they want as long as they make other states store their excess. What a scam! Again, how do we even know pumping it underground won’t do even more harm longterm to the environment?
I think we should plant Kudzu in the spring and bury it deep underground in the fall.
It’s too cold here to survive the winter so it won’t eat the state the way it ate Georgia.
