Summit Agricultural Group, a diversified agribusiness operator and investment manager with operations in the United States and Brazil, has created Summit Carbon Solutions (SCS), a new business platform that will develop the world’s largest carbon capture and storage (CCS) project. Expected to be operation in 2024, the Summit Carbon Solutions CCS project will significantly lower the carbon footprint of biorefineries and other carbon dioxide emission sources throughout the Midwestern region of the United States.
When fully developed, Summit Carbon Solutions will have an infrastructure network (pipeline and injection wells) capable of capturing and permanently storing more than 10 million tons of carbon dioxide annually in underground saline formations in North Dakota—equivalent to taking 2 million cars off the road per year.

Summit Carbon Solutions has partnered with a select group of leading biorefiners located in Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota, and North Dakota to execute the first phase of the project, which will put them on the path of ultimately delivering a net-zero-carbon fuel.
