Navigator cancels Midwest carbon pipeline
Navigator CO2 said it canceled its 1,350-mile carbon pipeline because of "unpredictable ... regulatory and government processes" in the five Midwestern states the pipeline would cross. The Heartland Greenway pipeline was among three projects proposed to capture carbon dioxide, mainly from ethanol plants, and transport it through pipelines for injection thousands of feet underground.
Navigator withdraws Illinois application for its five-state carbon pipeline
A company that wants to build a carbon pipeline stretching across the Midwest said on Tuesday it was withdrawing its application for the Illinois portion of the 1,350-mile project. In the past month, South Dakota utility regulators rejected Navigator CO2's request for a pipeline permit in their state, and the company asked Iowa regulators to suspend action on its application there.
