A sign for a carbon dioxide pipeline in Satartia, Miss. There are now about 5,300 miles of CO2 pipelines in the U.S., but in the next few decades, that number could grow to more than 65,000 miles.

A Nebraska facility is joining the Summit Carbon Pipeline. The Albion facility for Valero Renewables was previously involved in a separate pipeline project. All Valero locations will add three-point-one million tons of CO2 to the pipeline, which will be buried underground in North Dakota. A Stanton County Board denied a request from Summit for a permit to run eight miles of the pipeline through Nebraska last month. Approvals are made on a county level.
