The South Dakota Public Utilities Commission has scheduled a series of six public input meetings in January about a company’s permit application to construct a carbon dioxide pipeline.

The meetings are scheduled for Jan. 15-17 at various locations in eastern South Dakota near the proposed pipeline route.

Iowa-based Summit Carbon Solutions plans a 2,500-mile, $9 billion pipeline to capture carbon dioxide from 57 ethanol plants across five states, including eastern South Dakota, and transport it to North Dakota for underground storage. The project would capitalize on federal tax credits incentivizing the prevention of heat-trapping carbon emissions.

“The purpose of the public input meetings will be to hear public comments regarding the Application and the Project,” the commission said in a written order. “At the meetings, Summit will present a brief description of the Project, after which interested persons may appear and present their views, comments, and questions regarding the Application.”

Summit recently reapplied for a South Dakota permit after being rejected last year. The project has route permits in North Dakota and Iowa, while Minnesota is considering a permit and Nebraska has no state permitting process for carbon pipelines. North Dakota is also considering the proposed underground storage site.
