Farmers and landowners are skeptical about a proposed pipeline that would transport carbon dioxide from ethanol plants across the Midwest.
South-Central Nebraska farmer Larry Rauert tells Brownfield the Summit Carbon Solutions pipeline would cut his irrigated field potentially reducing yields. “I hate to be a stick in the mud to the rest of the mud to my fellow neighbors because this could be a huge difference in the price of their commodity. Because of the price of the inptus we have, we’re going to need every cent we can get.”
The Summit Carbon Solutions pipeline would transport CO2 from 32 ethanol plants in Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota, Minnesota and North Dakota to a sequestration site.
