Minnesota Judge Rules In Favor Of Project To Store Carbon Emissions In ND

(Undated) — A report compiled by an administrative law judge is recommending that officials with the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission sign off on part of the planned Summit Carbon Solutions project to store millions of tons of carbon dioxide underground in North Dakota.

Authorities say the twenty-eight-mile segment in Otter Tail and Wilkin counties would link Fergus Falls’ Green Plains ethanol plant to roughly 25 hundred miles of pipeline. When finished, the five-state network reportedly would pump carbon emissions into an underground storage area northwest of Bismarck. Critics, meanwhile, are criticizing the project, asserting that planners have set “a dangerously low bar for environmental review.”
