“Members of the public had several questions for a project manager with Summit Carbon Solutions on a future CO2 pipeline going through nearly 22 miles of Wayne County,” the Wayne Daily News reports.

“...Dependent on permit approval in the state of Nebraska, Summit Carbon Solutions would like to begin construction later this year with the anticipations of being operational by July of 2024. The group is already two and a half months into land acquisition and are on track with their civil and environmental surveys…

“Concerns from the public who attended the meeting were road modifications, type of pipe, how much CO2 will be produced from this project, abandonment plan, the Ponca Fault line, exploration to enhance oil recovery, disaster preparedness and more. County Attorney, Amy Miller, who also serves as attorney for the City of Wayne stated if this project comes within two miles of Wayne, Summit Carbon Solutions would have to request a use by exemption and approach city council.”
