BATON ROUGE – Today, Louisiana Mid-Continent Oil and Gas Association (LMOGA) President Tommy Faucheux released the following statement on Governor Landry’s recently announced executive order impacting the state’s permit review process for Carbon Capture & Storage projects.

“Louisiana’s energy industry has invested tens of billions of dollars into putting our state at the head of President Trump’s Energy Dominance Agenda. We appreciate the Governor’s vocal support for this effort and recognition of the role Carbon Capture and Storage will play. However, we are concerned this executive order threatens to create hurdles for that future investment,” said Tommy Faucheux, President of Louisiana Mid-Continent Oil & Gas Association. “CO2 transportation and injection have been a part of Louisiana’s energy industry for nearly 50 years, and there is a robust regulatory framework to ensure its continued safety. These projects have the potential to breathe new economic life into our communities and create the opportunities that will keep our kids here in Louisiana. We want to work with Governor Landry to maximize this potential. Let’s not let Texas, and other states waiting in the wings, take this moment from us because we put any more obstacles in our own way.”
