PIERRE, S.D.(WNAX)- Summit Carbon Solutions has filed an application with the South Dakota Public Utilities Commission to build a pipeline under eastern parts of the state to transport liquid carbon dioxide to underground storage in North Dakota.

PUC Chairman Chris Nelson says it’s something new for them.

The pipeline would originate in Iowa where fights are developing over the use of eminent domain for the pipeline right of way. Nelson says they don’t deal with that issue.

Nelson says they understand the issue of land use and access.
