Hundreds of South Dakota residents concerned about proposed carbon pipeline

April 27, 2022 by Kenneth Clarkson Leave a Comment

Hundreds of South Dakota residents concerned about proposed carbon pipeline 

by Kim Jarrett, The Center Square (April 27, 2022) – One organization said carbon dioxide pipelines are not worth the risk. The Pipeline Safety Trust issued a report last month outlining its concerns. “Carbon dioxide has different physical properties from products typically moved in hazardous hydrocarbon liquid or natural gas transmission pipelines,” the organization said. ‘Those differences pose unique safety hazards and greatly increase the possible affected area or potential impact radius upon a pipeline release that would endanger the public. CO2 pipeline ruptures can impact areas measured in miles, not feet. The way regulations currently consider and mitigate for the risks posed by hydrocarbon pipelines in communities are neither appropriate nor sufficient for CO2 pipelines.”
