Earlier today, the Majority Leader of the Iowa Senate Mike Klimesh introduced Senate File 2067. The bill proposes widening the corridor to find new paths for the carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) pipeline, rely on eminent domain only after all reasonable alternatives have been exhausted.
Iowa Corn Growers Association Vice President and farmer from Knoxville, Iowa, Steve Kuiper, released the following statement:
"The Iowa Corn Growers Association appreciates Senate Majority Leader Klimesh for introducing Senate File 2067 and advocating for increased flexibility as Iowa fights to pursue low-carbon ethanol markets.
"Iowa's corn farmers are continuing to see corn prices decline and input costs rise. Without access to low-carbon fuels through the carbon pipeline, farmers will lose the ability to participate in new markets, like sustainable aviation fuel or marine fuel, and be forced to watch idly by as other states, such as Nebraska, adopt CCS technology.
"All of Iowa must work together to find solutions that allow our state to pursue CCS projects and maintain the profitability of our state's corn and ethanol industry. This bill is a step in the right direction, and we look forward to continuing to partner with Iowa's legislators to find common ground that benefits all of Iowa."
