Blue Sky Infrastructure Proposes Louisiana Carbon Capture Project Amid Local Opposition
CARBON CAPTURE
Blue Sky Infrastructure is proposing Louisiana's second carbon capture and storage project in Ascension Parish, which includes plans for seven wells over 30 years, despite local opposition regarding land rights and potential environmental risks. The first well, under review, aims to inject up to 2.2 million tons of CO2 annually starting in 2027, with supporters highlighting job creation and economic stability for the petrochemical industry. The initiative is part of a broader effort involving over 30 similar proposals across the state.
