“Rep. Geymann commentary: Carbon capture, sequestration efforts in La. important

In today’s rapidly evolving energy landscape, carbon capture and storage (CCS) is more than just a buzzword—it’s a critical component of our future. As the chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee, I am dedicated to ensuring a positive economic impact in our state. By advocating for a robust energy sector and positioning Louisiana ahead of our competitors in the industry, we can achieve this goal. Louisiana’s leadership in CCS efforts not only highlights our commitment to the energy sector and its workforce but also ensures our continued relevance in the global energy market.

CCS is the natural evolution of the oil and gas industry. By embracing this transition and committing to doing it safely, we are securing jobs for our current workforce and creating new opportunities for future generations.

Louisiana has already made significant strides in CCS. All across the state, industry and communities have joined forces to develop safe and innovative projects. For instance, the Lake Charles Carbon Capture and Storage Project aims to capture and store up to 4.6 million metric tons of CO2 annually. Additionally, CF Industries and ExxonMobil are planning a major CCS project in Donaldsonville, which will capture and store 2 million metric tons of CO2 per year.”
