North Dakota Public Service Commission Hearing on CO2 Pipeline Plume Leak Confidentiality (6/27/23)

On Tuesday, June 27, the North Dakota Public Service Commission (PSC) held a formal hearing beginning at 8:30 a.m. in the Pioneer Room of the Judicial Wing, ND State Capitol, Bismarck. Intervenors have requested Summit’s modeling information be made public. The PSC held this hearing to assist in their decision about maintaining the current “confidentiality” status of Summit Carbon Solution’s CO2 pipeline rupture plume dispersion modeling that would inform the public about risks and dangers to the public in a leak event. Bold Alliance captured video of the hearing for the Pipeline Fighters Hub.
