North Dakota regulators give carbon dioxide pipeline green light

The proposed Summit Carbon Solutions pipeline project has the approval of North Dakota regulators.  North Dakota’s Public Service Commission voted unanimously Friday to approve a siting permit for the modified, 333-mile route within that state.  North Dakota denied Summit’s pipeline permit in 2023.

Summit Carbon Solutions says so far, they have easements for more than 80% of the North Dakota route.

Iowa has approved the pipeline, but Summit still needs approval to proceed in South Dakota, Nebraska, and Minnesota so no construction has begun.  Minnesota regulators will decide in early December if they will approve a 28-mile segment from Fergus Falls to the North Dakota network.
