The Great Plains Synfuels Plant has two pipelines: a synthetic natural gas pipeline moves gas from the plant to a hub on the Northern Border Pipeline. The other is a carbon dioxide pipeline operated by Souris Valley Pipeline, Ltd, a for-profit subsidiary of Dakota Gasification Company. This pipeline transports CO2 captured from plant processing and transports it to oil fields in Canada.
Natural gas produced at the Synfuels Plant leaves the plant through a two-foot diameter pipeline that transports the gas 34 miles to a gas portal on the Northern Border Pipeline. The Northern Border Pipeline interconnects with a network of pipelines at Ventura, IA, where it is distributed throughout the eastern half of the United States.
The first CO2 was sent to Canada in October 2000. Today, Dakota Gas exports about 152 million cubic feet per day of CO2 to Canada – about two-thirds of the readily available CO2 when running at full rates.
