New Study Shows Summit Carbon Solutions Will Drive Economic Growth Across the Midwest
A new study from Ernst and Young shows that Summit Carbon Solutions proposed carbon capture and storage project will create jobs, generate new property tax revenue for local communities, support local suppliers, and strengthen the regional economy.
From the outset of this project, Summit Carbon Solutions has been committed to opening critical new markets for ethanol producers, bolstering the bottom line of corn growers, and making significant progress in decarbonizing a critical Midwest-based industry. This latest analysis shows the overwhelmingly positive impact of this multi-billion-dollar investment, including the creation of thousands of new high-quality jobs, the utilization of local suppliers and main street businesses, and tens of millions of dollars in new tax revenues that will help local communities fund our roads, hospitals, first responders, and more.
