(The Center Square) – Environmental groups are applauding a Colorado company’s decision to withdraw an application to build a CO2 pipeline through Illinois. 

Last year, Wolf Carbon Solutions withdrew its request to build a 260-mile pipeline from Iowa through Illinois after receiving a denial from the Illinois Commerce Commission. The company said it would refile the permit application, but had second thoughts.
