Legislation that would allow companies to take private land in Indiana to build pipelines carrying carbon dioxide is advancing in the Statehouse.

The bill passed the Senate on a 36-12 vote Thursday and is now before the House.

State Sen. Beverly Gard says her bill is needed to open the way for a 6-mile pipeline crucial to a $2 billion plant a group of private investors wants to build in southwestern Indiana to turn coal into synthetic natural gas.

Although the Greenfield Republican says her pipeline bill is intended only to support the coal-gasification plant, it would allow companies to use eminent domain to claim private land anywhere in Indiana.
