South Dakota regulators say Summit Carbon Solutions will need to reapply for a permit application to build a carbon dioxide pipeline. The decision is another setback for the multi-state project.

Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins assured an audience of agriculture leaders that the president would remember farmers in the midst of imposing tariffs.

Summit Carbon Solutions’ plan to build a pipeline across five states included the right to use eminent domain in some states. A South Dakota law says that’s no longer allowed, and an Iowa bill seeks to do the same.

Biofuel advocates say the industry is at an inflection point. They’re calling on the new administration to increase ethanol and biodiesel volumes in the country's fuel supply, expand E15 gasoline and clarify tax credits.

Iowa recently gave the greenlight for what could become the largest carbon capture and sequestration project in the world. But regulatory hurdles, lawsuits and questions remain there and in neighboring states.

The Environmental Protection Agency announced last week that the U.S. will allow year-round sales in several Midwestern states in 2025. Environmental advocates, however, say the decision is a step in the wrong direction.

Kansas has three carbon dioxide pipelines. Next, it could get two carbon sequestration wells, linked to ethanol plants. Here’s what we know.

Three companies want to capture carbon dioxide from Midwestern ethanol plants, transport it by pipeline and store it underground. Many in the ethanol industry claim it’s essential to the industry’s survival. Environmentalists and even farmers argue the pipelines are a boon for the industry — not a real solution for climate change.

Producers will make more than 15 billion gallons of ethanol from corn, complying with the new renewable fuels mandate from the EPA.

The Renewable Fuel Standard, which requires blending some renewable fuel into gasoline, may be contributing more to climate change than it’s helping.

Boosters of ethanol and other renewable fuels are holding out hope that the Biden administration will be friendlier to the industry than the Trump administration.

Most farmers haven't had a single good year since President Trump took office, and Trump’s policies on trade, immigration and ethanol are part of the…
