Illinois could ban carbon dioxide pipeline projects

Illinois is considering a temporary ban on carbon dioxide pipeline projects.

Illinois is a major player in the projects because of its unique geological makeup, perfect for storing carbon underground. Companies haven’t gotten a foothold because of public pushback. The federal government’s focus is on new regulation that give companies a tax incentive if they choose to build pipelines.

Manufacturers and agriculture groups agree they want the state to approve the projects and feel Illinois will lose crucial economic development if the projects keep getting stalled.
