Why did Gevo cancel its Lake Preston jet fuel facility project?

Gevo canceled its Lake Preston jet fuel facility project because South Dakota banned eminent domain for carbon pipelines, which halted Gevo's access to carbon sequestration via the Summit Carbon Solutions pipeline—a critical requirement for meeting federal carbon reduction standards and earning carbon credits.

Where is Gevo relocating the jet fuel facility, and why was that location chosen?

Gevo is relocating the jet fuel facility to North Dakota because the site offers an operational ethanol plant and established carbon sequestration infrastructure, which the company deemed better suited for growth compared to the Lake Preston location.
