Louisiana Clean Energy Complex

The Louisiana Clean Energy Complex will produce low-carbon hydrogen and ammonia to power industrial markets in the Gulf Coast region and around the world. The facility will capture and sequester 95% of its carbon dioxide emissions (over 5 million tons per year), permanently sequestering the CO₂ in ideal geological pore space in Louisiana. 

This project is the largest U.S. investment by Air Products and a major investment in the State of Louisiana. This clean energy complex will enhance the local economy, use proven technology to significantly reduce emissions through carbon capture for permanent sequestration, and help customers improve their own sustainability performance. 

Louisiana intends to reduce GHG emissions to net-zero by 2050 while preserving the state’s economic competitiveness. This project helps move toward achieving both of those goals.

Sequestration Facts

The sequestration site will be constructed and operated to meet all state and federal standards, which were established to protect the community and the environment.

Safe Storage Far Below Water Tables

The carbon sequestration will occur ~1 mile beneath the surface; water tables are found around 100 feet.

Permanent Sequestration

Carbon sequestration is permanent and is an environmentally sound disposition of CO₂ that does not fracture rock.

Stable Pore Space

More than 400 million metric tons of CO₂ have already been injected in stable pore space over 50 years worldwide.

Monitoring

During sequestration, Air Products will conduct continuous measurement, monitoring, verification, and reporting.

World’s Largest Carbon Capture for Permanent Sequestration Operation

Approximately 95% of the CO₂ generated at the facility will be captured, compressed, and transported safely by pipeline to multiple inland sequestration sites located along a pipeline corridor extending up to 35 miles to the east of the new production facility. Over 5 million MTPY of CO₂ will be permanently sequestered in geologic pore space secured from the State of Louisiana approximately one mile beneath the surface.
