Final Summitt Carbon pipeline meeting is today

Final Summitt Carbon pipeline meeting is today

The final public meeting on the expansion of the Summit Carbon Solutions carbon capture pipeline expansion project is today (Friday). Farmer Dave Balder (bald-er) plans to attend the meeting in Buena Vista County and opposes the project. “This is a dangerous, profit-driven project, and I see that it will be obsolete before it even gets completed.” Balder, who lives a mile north of the Valero Renewable Fuels plant in Albert City already granted easements on his property for two natural gas pipelines. He says those pipelines are projects that benefit the public, but the carbon pipeline is not.

“I do not agree with someone coming in and with eminent domain and taking over, especially since this is a private situation,” Balder says. Summit Carbon Solutions scheduled public meetings in 23 counties as required by the Iowa Utilities Commission as it seeks to increase its nearly 700-mile carbon capture pipeline by 340 miles.

Several property owners, lawmakers, and the Sierra Club have filed lawsuits opposing the use of eminent domain to build the pipeline connecting about 60 ethanol plants across five states.
