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 primacy from 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 º£½ÇÉçÇø researchers to break down where we are, what’s coming next, and what it means for the state’s energy future.
