A battle is being waged over a pipeline that will stretch from Galva through Knox County, transporting Carbon Dioxide from Big River Resources on the Heartland Greenway System. Navigator CO2 is in the works of building the pipeline that will originate in Nebraska, South Dakota, and Iowa, be buried at least five feet underground as it travels through the midwest, crosses the Mississippi River, and reaches Christain County in Illinois. CO2 is created as a result of the fermentation of ethanol at plants across the midwest, including the plants run by Big River in Galva and West Burlington. Navigaotar says that once the pipeline is fully expanded, the Heartland Greenway system will have the ability to capture and store 15 million metric tons of CO2 every year. There is a push against the pipeline, which will run through the eastern side of Knox County, traveling west of Williamsfield before turning to the southwest and into Fulton County near London Mills.
