Another South Dakota Ethanol Plant Signs on to Summit Carbon Pipeline
South Dakota Ag Connection - 05/29/2023
Another ethanol plant in South Dakota has signed on to the Summit Carbon Solutions carbon capture pipeline project.
Summit announced on May 25 that NuGen Energy in Marion in southeast South Dakota has joined 32 ethanol plants in five states on the project.
NuGen Energy began operations in 2008 and has a production capacity of 150 million gallons per year, Summit said in a news release.
“We are delighted to partner with Summit on this important carbon capture storage project,” Zafar Rizvi, CEO of Rex American Resources, said in a news release. “Strategically, the location of our NuGen facility in Marion, South Dakota, and our goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions perfectly align with Summit Carbon Solutions. We look forward to working with Summit to achieve our sustainability targets and making a positive impact on the environment.”
There are seven other existing ethanol plants in South Dakota signed on to the 2,000 mile project that intends to transport liquid carbon dioxide to an underground storage area in North Dakota.
Summit earlier this year announced that a Gevo plant at Lake Preston, South Dakota, that will make sustainable aviation fuel from corn also intends to use the Summit pipeline to reduce its carbon footprint.
The Gevo and NuGen plants are not included in Summit’s pipeline route application that is pending with the South Dakota Public Utilities Commission.
Summit's director of regulatory affairs, John Satterfield, said separate applications will be filed for the additional plants.
Summit says it has commitments for just over half of the pipeline’s planned CO2 capacity.
“We’re talking with people everyday,” Satterfield said of other potential partners.
