The company planning to build a carbon pipeline through Iowa and neighboring states has a new leadership team.
The Iowa Capitol Dispatch was first to report that Joe Griffin, the new CEO of Summit Carbon Solutions, has signed letters sent to all landowners along the route. One version is a thank you to those who’ve agreed to let the pipeline run through their property. The other letter was sent to people who’ve resisted having the pipeline on their land and it promises revised routing and terms that better support the long-term interests of landowners.
Griffin says the new leadership team is focused on respect for landowners and this is a new chapter for the project. He recently testified in North Dakota at the end of July on behalf of a different company, so he only recently took the job with Summit.
Griffin is a CPA and a graduate of Oklahoma State University who’s worked in the natural gas industry, including for a company owned by an investor in Summit’s carbon pipeline project.
