“Establishing Class VI primacy for Louisiana is a pivotal step to allow Louisiana leaders to determine what’s best for our industry and our communities. Local oversight will give the state the ability to quickly and safely implement the latest processes, technologies and regulations to keep Louisiana at the forefront of energy innovation and production.

Carbon capture and storage technologies have been safely operating in the U.S. for more than 50 years with an established record of performance. It will provide a viable pathway for the decarbonization and continued operation of existing industrial, manufacturing and energy facilities in our state — preventing facility closures and securing the jobs and livelihoods of thousands of Louisianians.”
