Carbon Capture Wells. Pros. Cons.

What is happening? Louisiana has several carbon capture projects across the state. One is a a $4.5 billion “blue hydrogen” manufacturing plant that will convert methane in natural gas into hydrogen & carbon dioxide. The hydrogen will be pumped via pipeline from Galveston TX to New Orleans.

Why does this matter? Opposition points to the cost of hydrogen and carbon capture, the harm to wildlife, the harm to businesses that rely on marine life, & the safety of pipelines.
