Reuters reveals Giant pipeline in U.S. Midwest tests future of carbon capture

Reuters shone a spotlight on how a 2,000-mile project dubbed the Midwest Carbon Express had ambitions to become the world’s largest carbon dioxide pipeline, moving climate-warming greenhouse gases from biofuels plants to North Dakota for storage underground. But dozens of landowners along the proposed route are refusing to cede their property. The impasse could escalate into potential court battles if Summit Carbon Solutions tries to seize the land by claiming eminent domain. Such legal fights contributed to the cancellation of the Keystone XL oil pipeline this year.
