Midwest Carbon Express
峰会碳解决方案提出一个管道,dubbed the Midwest Carbon Express, which would be more than 2,000 miles long and cross five states in total; more than 700 miles are planned across Iowa.
The$4.5 billion Summit projectwould be a potential boon for Midwest ethanol producers. Summit looks to connect as many as 31 ethanol plants, including as many as 12 plants in Iowa.
By trapping their carbon emissions and pumping them into the ground in North Dakota, the ethanol plants stand to capture premiums from low-carbon fuel markets such as California. The ethanol plant and pipeline would split the premium.
