Summit-Infinium Partnership Underscores Economic Value of Carbon Pipeline
URBANDALE, Iowa (Feb. 6, 2025) – The American Carbon Alliance (ACA) says the newly announced partnership between Summit Carbon Solutions and Infinium is further proof that carbon capture technology is an economic game-changer for the Midwest.
Through this collaboration, Summit will supply up to 670,000 metric tons of CO2 annually to Infinium’s proposed eFuels facility in North Dakota or South Dakota. Infinium will use the captured CO2, combined with green hydrogen, to produce ultra-low carbon fuels for aviation, shipping, and heavy transport—boosting domestic energy production and opening new market opportunities.
“This is exactly why getting the Summit pipeline built is so important. Capturing and utilizing CO2 isn’t just about reducing emissions—it’s about creating new markets, driving economic growth, and strengthening rural communities,” said Tom Buis, CEO of the American Carbon Alliance. “This project proves that carbon capture infrastructure leads to real investment, job creation, and new revenue streams for ethanol producers and farmers.”
The proposed eFuels facility would bring major investment to the Midwest, generating high-paying skilled jobs and strengthening the ethanol and agricultural sectors. As the demand for eFuels grows, projects like this highlight the real economic benefits of carbon capture technology.
