#SummitCarbonSolutions, the company behind a proposed Midwest carbon dioxide pipeline, has quietly shifted its focus from carbon sequestration to fossil fuel extraction. Summit now says its pipeline will be used for enhanced oil recovery.

Iowa landowners opposed to the #SummitCarbonSolutions pipeline asked a court to reconsider its decision to pause a lawsuit against the project. South Dakota's law banning eminent domain for carbon pipelines is a factor in the litigation.

The Iowa Utilities Commission will have to decide whether #SummitCarbonSolutions can change the ending destination for its carbon sequestration pipeline before a case against the company’s permit can proceed, an Iowa court ruled.

A judge sided with a landowner group and found a North Dakota law related to underground storage of carbon dioxide to be unconstitutional. The ruling could have implications for the controversial #SummitCarbonSolutions pipeline project.

A South Dakota couple want an Iowa carbon pipeline company to pay them for surveying their land against their will. Jared and Tara Bossly, of rural Aberdeen, filed a trespassing lawsuit in Brown County against #SummitCarbonSolutions.
#SummitCarbonSolutions wants Iowa to remove provisions from the company's pipeline permit that require approval in the Dakotas. Summit said the change would reflect that “additional options for storage and pathways to storage are developing." buff.ly/YG01CXK

The #SummitCarbonSolutions carbon dioxide pipeline route as proposed is “not viable,” South Dakota regulators determined. The Public Utilities Commission voted 2-1 to deny the company’s application, but Summit immediately pledged to reapply with a “reduced scope.” buff.ly/jQWjtP1
SD regulators refused to pause proceedings on a carbon capture pipeline permit, instead directing #SummitCarbonSolutions to present a plan during the next meeting illustrating how the company can move forward — or not — under a new state law barring its use of #EminentDomain.

The Iowa House approved a bill that would stop pipelines carrying liquified carbon dioxide from using #EminentDomain. The legislation is similar to a law recently passed in South Dakota, in response to the proposed #SummitCarbonSolutions pipeline.
An Iowa lawmaker called on #SummitCarbonSolutions to withdraw its already-approved permit application to build a carbon sequestration pipeline through the state, saying there's "no basis" to proceed after SD barred the project from using #EminentDomain. buff.ly/J2FSdmz

The company proposing a #CarbonPipeline has formally requested that an SD regulator recuse herself from the project’s permit application, citing an alleged conflict of interest.
More about #SummitCarbonSolutions and its allegation against Commissioner Kristie Fiegen:
A trust controlled by an SD regulator’s relatives still owns land along a proposed pipeline route, but the regulator has not recused herself from the project’s second permit application after recusing herself from the first one. #SummitCarbonSolutions:
South Dakota regulators will charge a #CarbonDioxidePipeline company up to $876,000 to help cover the cost of evaluating its new permit application. #SummitCarbonSolutions already paid a $592,500 filing fee for a previously rejected application.
Several opponents of the proposed #SummitCarbonSolutions carbon sequestration pipeline have received letters on behalf of the company threatening lawsuits over perceived defamation, an environmental group representative said.
