IOWA - In Iowa, the House of the state legislature recently advanced a bill (HF2104) to ban the use of eminent domain (government forcing the sale of property or rights-of-way for public use) specifically for constructing carbon capture pipelines.
The bill would likely block the proposed Summit Carbon Solutions pipeline from being built. The pipeline was proposed to capture C02 from ethanol plants to move it to North Dakota. Some property owners are concerned about the use of eminent domain for this purpose.
