flag Nebraska surpasses Iowa in ethanol production due to carbon capture pipeline benefits, threatening Iowa plants if its pipeline fails.

flag Iowa is no longer the top U.S. state for ethanol production, with Nebraska taking the lead due to the operational Trailblazer Pipeline, which captures and stores carbon emissions from ethanol plants in Wyoming. flag The shift is driven by economic incentives tied to carbon capture infrastructure, prompting investment and production to move to Nebraska. flag Iowa’s ethanol industry faces decline if the stalled Summit Carbon Solutions pipeline is not approved, risking plant closures. flag Despite legislative efforts, Iowa’s only bill on the project passed the Senate but was vetoed by Governor Reynolds. flag Nebraska’s Husker AG CEO confirmed production is shifting there, with some Iowa plants already struggling or closing. flag The Trailblazer Pipeline serves up to 11 ethanol facilities, including one near Council Bluffs, with agreements in place for connections.
