Five years ago, Summit Carbon Solutions rolled out its plan for the Midwest Carbon Express, a 2,000-mile pipeline designed to transport carbon dioxide collected from ethanol plants in five states and sequester it underground in North Dakota.

The project has met fierce opposition across the multi-state route, resulting in Summit's complete overhaul of the route and changing the intended purpose of the project.

A district judge in North Dakota revoked Summit's permits for the sequestration site after ruling the company's access to private property violated the takings clause of the state's constitution.

Reynolds instead named fellow commissioner Sarah Martz chair in May of 2025.

Helland had faced criticism from some Republican lawmakers and landowners over the commission's handling of Summit Carbon Solutions' proposed multi-state carbon dioxide pipeline.

The Commission in 2024 approved a permit for Summit's Iowa route and authorized the company to use eminent domain to obtain land from unwilling property owners with compensation.

The project has faced sustained opposition from landowners and lawmakers concerned about property rights and the use of eminent domain for the privately owned pipeline.
