Pipeline would store carbon dioxide emissions from ethanol

Associated Press  

BISMARCK, N.D. — A pipeline aiming to pick up carbon dioxide produced by ethanol plants across the Midwest is slated to inject the gas underground in Oliver and Mercer counties, and discussion surrounding the project is heating up. The Midwest Carbon Express pipeline would cross under the Missouri River north of Bismarck, transporting as much as 12 million metric tons of carbon dioxide per year. A branch crossing through southeastern North Dakota would pick up carbon dioxide from Tharaldson Ethanol and connect near the state line on the South Dakota side. The Midwest Carbon Express project would seek to make use of a federal tax credit for carbon dioxide storage, as are a number of other carbon capture projects planned for North Dakota. The Summit project, like others proposed for North Dakota, would include monitoring wells to gauge the location of the plume of carbon dioxide expected to form underground.
