From NDIC well search, link here:

  • no mention of Summit Carbon Solutions
  • the NDIC database is broken
  • the NDIC database is "accurate" up to July 14, 2021, which explains why Summit Carbon Solutions is not found at the NDIC well search site. 

From GlobalGazette, Octobder 15, 2021:

In the coming weeks, an Ames-based company will be making its pitch to residents throughout North Iowa about a new carbon capture pipeline that would cross about 172 miles in the area and reach into four other states. 

Per a post on the Iowa Utilities Board website, Summit Carbon Solutions filed a request for public information meetings in each county where real property or property rights would be affected. In North Iowa, that includes the counties of: Cerro Gordo, Floyd, Franklin, Hancock, Kossuth and Wright. Based on Iowa Code, those meetings need to be conducted at least 30 days before a company files a petition for a new pipeline permit. 

The way the pipeline would work is that carbon dioxide emissions at local ethanol plants would be captured, liquefied and then transported to a site in North Dakota where it would be stored deep underground (according to the filing). On the website for Summit Carbon, project partners include companies such as Golden Grain Energy out of Mason City, Quad County Corn Processors in Galva and Siouxland Energy Cooperative in Sioux Center.
