1800 Mile Ethanol Pipeline to Be Installed through the Midwest
On Wednesday plans were unveiled for a 1800 mile long pipeline running through the Midwest North of Indianapolis, Indiana and south of Cleveland, Ohio. The project is being backed by POET Ethanol Products and Magellan Midstream Partners in Texas. This would be the first long distance pipeline designed to carry ethanol ever built in the United States. Estimates provided by POET and Magellan indicate that the 22 ” pipeline will be ready for service in approximately four years.
It is likely that POET and Magellan will utilize the governments powers of eminent domain to acquire land for this project. Land owners should become proactive if they believe that they may be affected by this pipeline. This means landowners should attend public meetings held by regulators or the pipeline companies and gather as much information about the process as possible. Sever Storey will follow this story closely and provide updates as to when public meetings will first be held.
