A major Midwestern carbon dioxide pipeline project has been canceled.
BISMARCK, N.D. — A company on Friday said it would cancel its plans for a 1,300-mile pipeline across five Midwestern states that would have gathered carbon dioxide emissions from ethanol plants and buried the gas deep underground.
Those moves came after South Dakota public utilities regulators denied Navigator a construction permit in September. The pipeline would have used carbon capture technology, which supporters tout as a combatant of climate change, with federal tax incentives and billions of dollars from Congress, making such efforts lucrative. But opponents question the technology at scale, and say it could require bigger investments than less expensive alternatives such as solar and wind power.
