Summit Carbon Solutions this week announced a partnership that will expand the footprint of its massive carbon capture pipeline across the U.S. Midwest.

Iowa-based Summit has been working on getting approvals for its proposed pipeline, which includes a 2,000-mile web of pipelines in five states: Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, South Dakota, and North Dakota.
