Summit Carbon Solutions plans to shrink the scope of its pipeline project in Iowa by about 200 miles. Summit no longer plans to connect its pipeline to ethanol plants in St. Ansgar, Corning, Hanlontown or Shenandoah. That means the pipeline route will no longer stretch through Adams, Fremont, Mitchell, Montgomery, Page, Pottawattamie, Shelby and Worth counties. Pipeline miles will be reduced in Crawford, Dickinson, Floyd and Sioux County. These changes affect about 400 landowners. Summit still plans to connect to 27 Iowa ethanol plants, but after regulatory set backs in the Dakotas, the company aims to connect with a carbon pipeline in Nebraska that’s already operating.
