South Dakota Rejects Permit for $8.9 Billion Carbon Pipeline

South Dakota has rejected Summit Carbon Solutions’ application to build a pipeline, in the latest setback for the $8.9 billion carbon-sequestering project that would cut across five US farm states over roughly 2,500 miles.
The South Dakota Public Utilities Commission voted 2-1 Tuesday to reject the application, said Leah Mohr, deputy executive director. That’s after some land owners fiercely opposed the project while state regulators already rejected a previous route through the state last year.
