Summit Carbon Solutions shifts Iowa project plan
In Iowa, Summit Carbon Solutions announced that it is refining portions of its proposed Iowa project footprint to focus on the strongest and most efficient path forward, helping accelerate progress toward construction and delivery of long-term economic opportunities for agriculture and rural communities.
The filing submitted to the Iowa Utilities Commission removes certain pipeline route segments, simplifying the overall project while maintaining the core infrastructure needed to move forward efficiently and responsibly.
The updated route reduces overall project complexity, with fewer impacted miles and fewer impacted landowners, allowing for a more focused and streamlined regulatory process. Summit will remove the proposed routes in Shelby, Pottawattamie, Montgomery, Adams, Page, Fremont, Mitchell, and Worth counties, while also reducing pipeline mileage in Crawford, Floyd, Sioux, and Dickinson counties. In total, the refinements will remove more than 400 landowners from the project footprint and reduce the overall scope of the project by approximately 200 miles.
The project will continue to work with a strong core group of ethanol facilities, including 27 in Iowa. At this time, the company will not pursue routes to Absolute Energy, POET Corning, POET Hanlontown, or Green Plains Shanandoah.
