South Dakota regulators on Wednesday denied a construction permit for a carbon dioxide pipeline project, one month after a North Dakota panel did the same to a similar project by another company.
The South Dakota Public Utilities Commission voted unanimously to deny Navigator's application for its Heartland Greenway pipeline.
The proposed South Dakota route encompassed 112 miles (180 kilometers) and would serve three ethanol plants.
Other states continue to weigh Summit's project, which would encompass a 2,000-mile network from 30-some ethanol plants throughout Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota to an underground storage site in North Dakota.
Summit this week withdrew its applications to Oliver County for two permits related to construction of injection wells for its underground CO2 storage site in central North Dakota.
