In Louisiana, we are on the verge of a new golden age of energy production and all that comes with this—new jobs, more state revenue, and a stronger economy. To achieve this, it will take utilizing the latest technologies like carbon capture and storage (CCS), which allows us to produce more energy, support energy independence and reduce carbon dioxide emissions all at the same time.
CCS technology separates the CO2 emissions and then safely stores them deep underground. Learn more about this process with this video:
Carbon capture and sequestration is a safe and effective way to permanently store carbon dioxide emissions underground. The technology has been in use for more than 50 years, and there are approximately 30 permanent carbon capture projects in operation around the world.
Carbon capture technology is important to Louisiana’s future as an energy leader and strengthening America’s energy independence. In Louisiana carbon capture could retain more than 105,000 jobs, create up to 4,920 project jobs every year, and generate 2,500 ongoing operations jobs.
