Iowa-based Summit Carbon Solutions last year announced plans to develop a new carbon capture and storage project across the Midwest. The project seeks to capture carbon dioxide emissions that otherwise would be emitted into the atmosphere from biorefineries, such as ethanol plants, compress the captured carbon dioxide, and transport it through a pipeline to North Dakota where it will be permanently and safely stored underground in deep geologic storage locations.
The project will be the largest carbon capture and storage project in the world and capture and permanently store up to 12 million tons of carbon dioxide every year, the equivalent of removing 2.6 million gas-powered vehicles from roads annually.
