Iowa permits fight looms as Summit carbon line faces court
Regulators denied reconsideration requests by conservation groups landowners counties and lawmakers in a move that pushes the Summit Carbon Solutions pipeline dispute toward state court. The Iowa Utilities Commission said action by August 14 2024 was lacking and denied by operation of law. The $8 billion project would stretch about 680 miles in Iowa with plans to extend 370 more as it links ethanol plants to North Dakota for underground storage. Early court challenges are expected from Sierra Club Iowa Republican Legislative Intervenors and Bold Iowa allies with counties weighing lawsuits as eminent domain and public benefit questions fuel opposition.
