The discussion leading to the decision in late August was an emotional one, said Lance Lillibridge, the Iowa Corn Growers Association’s outgoing president. But the “overwhelming majority in the room” supported building carbon capture pipelines to cut the carbon dioxide emissions tied to ethanol production.
