See how safe CO2 capture and storage works, and how it benefits all of us

CO₂ capture and storage in Louisiana will create new jobs and protect the existing jobs that sustain our vital manufacturing and energy industries.

It involves capturing emissions instead of releasing them into the atmosphere.
Pipelines carry the CO₂ to permanent, safe storage deep underground. This helps the Louisiana petrochemical industry reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
Louisiana can grow energy jobs and our state’s economy with carbon capture and storage.

How Permanent Storage Works

Storing CO₂ is like the reverse of drilling for natural gas. Instead of drilling through rock to extract gas, CO₂ is injected under rock layers deep underground that keep oil and gas locked in place.
CO₂ storage sites are carefully selected after rigorous analysis to ensure they are geologically suitable. CO₂ is stored thousands of feet underground, well below any sources of drinking water.

The top 5 reasons why CO₂ capture and storage benefit Louisiana:

It secures our energy future, enabling our manufacturing and energy industries to continue to thrive.

CO₂ capture and storage reduces emissions, which benefits everyone and our environment.

It makes Louisiana a leading innovator in lower-carbon energy solutions for the future.

CO₂ capture and storage creates good, new jobs in our state.

CO₂ pipeline projects provide income to landowners and tax revenues to our parishes.

Why Louisiana?

We need to sustain our energy and industrial jobs. And we have the natural geology deep underground for safely storing carbon emissions from these industries.
Louisiana has a long, proven history of safe underground storage operations.
America’s underground Strategic Petroleum Reserve is an example – two storage sites have been operating safely beneath Iberville and Cameron Parishes for more than 30 years.
Louisiana’s heavy industry jobs will be hard to sustain long term without capturing and storing carbon emissions.

CO₂ Pipeline Safety in Action

CO₂ pipeline and storage operators proactively inspect and monitor all infrastructure and conduct preventive maintenance. Personnel monitor operations 24/7 and can shut down a CO₂ pipeline if there is a problem. CO₂ pipelines are constructed with high-grade steel and a protective coating to help prevent corrosion.
