Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage Webinar
With support from federal incentives and increasing pressure to lower carbon intensity, CCUS is gaining momentum as a potential tool to facilitate industrial decarbonization. And with Louisiana receiving Class VI primacyfrom the EPA in December 2023—giving the state authority to permit and regulate carbon storage wells—we’re entering a new era of opportunity and responsibility.
This webinar brings together legislative leaders, state regulators, and LSU researchers to break down where we are, what’s coming next, and what it means for the state’s energy future.
