(Port Byron, IL) -- Residents in Port Byron, Illinois, east of the Quad Cities, met last night to hear a presentation against a proposed CO2 pipeline. The 300-mile pipeline would connect the ADM plant in Cedar Rapids to ADM's new carbon dioxide-storage well in Decatur, Illinois. The Coalition to Stop CO2 Pipelines told residents that a pipeline leak in Mississippi in 2020 that sent 45 people to hospital is proof the proposed CO2 pipeline is dangerous. Wolf Carbon Solutions, the company proposing the pipeline, says the line would be vigorously monitored during and after construction.
