Oct 20 (Reuters) \u2013 Navigator CO2 Ventures has canceled its Heartland Greenway pipeline project aimed at capturing 15 million metric tons of carbon dioxide annually from Midwest ethanol plants and storing it permanently underground, the company said on Friday, citing \u201cunpredictable\u201d state regulatory processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cancellation of one of the biggest projects of its kind is a setback to the development of carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects in the U.S., which are a\u00a0pillar<\/a>\u00a0of President Joe Biden\u2019s climate strategy. It is also a blow to the ethanol industry, which\u00a0sees CCS as key<\/a>\u00a0to cutting emissions from producing the fuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was local farmers and environmentalists combined in an unusual alliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThe people united to resist Navigator at every level in every corner of every state and we won,\u201d said Jess Mazour, an Iowa organizer with the Sierra Club environmental group, which opposes carbon pipelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The large CCS pipeline project from Summit Carbon Solutions continued although also facing strong opposition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Summit said in a statement that it is \u201cwell-positioned to add additional plants and communities to our project footprint.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summit recently said its pipeline will start operating in 2026, a delay from its initial timeline of 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
