Summit Carbon Solutions Secures North Dakota Pipeline Permit

Critical Milestone Achieved for Carbon Capture and Storage Infrastructure Project

Ames, Iowa [November 15, 2024] – Summit Carbon Solutions is pleased to announce that the North Dakota Public Service Commission has granted it a Route Permit* , a significant milestone in advancing Summit’s CO2 pipeline project. This decision highlights the Commission’s thorough review process and dedication to balancing economic opportunities with stakeholder interests.

“We commend and respect the North Dakota Public Service Commission for their diligence and thoughtful approach in reviewing this project,” said Wade Boeshans, Executive VP of Summit Carbon Solutions. “This decision is a testament to North Dakota’s commitment to fostering innovation while working closely with communities and industries. We look forward to continuing to collaborate with stakeholders across the state to deliver long-term benefits for farmers, energy producers, and local communities.”

Summit Carbon Solutions has worked extensively with North Dakota landowners, community leaders, and other stakeholders and has implemented material changes incorporating their feedback. These efforts have fostered a path forward that aligns with the state’s priorities and supports North Dakota’s leadership in agriculture and energy innovation.

“Summit Carbon Solutions has been amazing to work with, ” said Joshua Seil, a signed landowner along the Bismarck reroute.“They showed up at our home anytime requested of them and have thoroughly explained all issues/concerns we have had. They even offered to move the pipeline within limitations on my land to have the best fit for everyone involved. They listened to my wife and I’s concerns, answered any questions rendered to them, and have been very accommodating throughout this entire process.”

With more than 82% of the easements for the North Dakota route secured, Summit Carbon Solutions remains committed to working collaboratively with affected landowners and communities as the project progresses toward construction and operations. Summit has secured a permit in Iowa for its base scope pipeline route and will apply in South Dakota on November 19. The project aims to support North Dakota’s leadership in energy innovation while opening new markets for low-carbon ethanol and driving economic growth across the region.

  1. I so glad we put in all the protections for landowners and all the extra money for the counties…oh wait. We’re dumb.

  2. Anonymous at 7:38… It’s a trust thing. Plainly on this issue the great majority of voters don’t believe their legislators nor the corporate grifters bearing bushels in federal cash. BTW, my wife and I in Beadle voted yes on 21. Doesn’t mean we’re smart or dumb.

    1. Thanks Cliff for voting the correct way. Uninformed voters were scared by the lies and half-truths spread by the anti-pipeliners.

      1. anonymous at 10:50… We would never want to harm ag. It’s a shame farmers and ranchers have to play along with the CO2-will-kill-us scam to secure markets. The ultimate goal of apocalyptic enviros is to kill modern farming methods, and CO2 is their best shot. Sadly, that’s where we are now.

        1. We play by the rules and with the cards we are dealt.

          I don’t agree with the CO2 will kill us all business either but the rules still are in effect.

          Oh wait, just listen to Mills, Lems, Auch, and the rest of those types, we will die in seconds if a leak happens.

    2. Cliff, I would respectfully disagree with you. You are smart. Smart enough to read the bill, see it for what it is and vote accordingly. I agree it is a trust issue, but people just put their trust in a bunch of power seeking politicians pretending that they aren’t politicians. I appreciate people that informed themselves. I personally feel that carbon capture is dumb. But this bill wasn’t about stopping carbon capture.

  3. So today at the Brookings County GOP meeting the attendees were expressing delight at the No vote on 21, and having Robert Kennedy making America Healthy Again.

    I pointed out that if the ethanol producers can’t sell their product because they don’t have a CO2 solution, and Robert Kennedy bans high-fructose corn syrup, the corn prices will plummet, the corn producers won’t have anybody to sell corn to, and we should all be careful what we wish for.

    .

        1. Read Beal’s comment. She states corn producers will no have ANYONE to sell their corn to. I simply pointed out she was incorrect. Try to keep up.

    1. Anne, your corn syrup statement is crazy fear mongering as there is zero chance the Secretary of Health could ban corn syrup. Zero. What is your real reason for opposing Kennedy? The reason the GOP establishment has no credibility anymore is a lack of honesty and transparency on motives.

  4. Doesn’t matter. The company that is supposed to build the storage facility still hasn’t gotten their permit to do so.

    Just trying to loot as much from the US Treasury before the new administration takes office.

  5. the loony Robert Kennedy Jr. appointment is just one that doesn’t bode well for those of us who enjoy living in a rural, farming state…he’ s also dead against COFO’s, Who knows who next Ag. Secretary is.??

  6. Two comments:

    1) The failure of the RL21 was a statement vote broadly about the green new deal and a lack of trust in the establishment. (I voted for RL21)
    2) Terry is clearly being disingenuous about Kennedy as his appointment as HHS has absolutely no portfolio that affects agriculture as an industry, especially because Trump made it clear he will limit Kennedy’s mission to Make America Healthy Again and Kennedy has no influence on who becomes the Ag. Secretary.
