Louisiana’s energy industry is leading the way to produce low and zero emissions energy to meet global demands of companies seeking to minimize their carbon footprint.
The natural gas and oil industry is committed to addressing climate challenges while also supplying the affordable, reliable energy our country counts on every day. Investing in technology and innovation, such as CCS, supports our goals of meeting the world’s growing need for energy while also advancing a lower-carbon future.

For more than a century, Louisiana’s energy industry has led the way in innovation. We are one of the top providers of energy sources for Americans and countries across the world.
We now have the opportunity to take advantage of new oil and natural gas demands and position our state as the future of energy.
Investing in the latest technologies, like CCS, is the next step for Louisiana to control its own future. We can be at the forefront of the next wave of energy investments. We have the trained workforce, natural resources, and infrastructure to make it happen.
As any Econ 101 professor would tell you, the market is what drives innovation. From the car phone to the flip phone to the iPhone, customers’ demand created a product that replaced our maps, our cameras and even our computers.
For the energy industry, that demand is lower carbon fuels and emissions. Companies and countries across the world are demanding more energy with less carbon emissions.
If Louisiana wants to remain an energy leader, we must shift our focus and look ahead to the industry’s future. By investing in tomorrow today, Louisianians will reap the benefits of a thriving economy and play a major role in securing America’s energy independence.
If we don’t, we will be left behind.
We’re positioned to lead the world in one of the most promising energy innovations – Carbon Capture and Storage. Louisiana is 4 – 5+ years ahead of other states for CCS permitting and, because of that, we’re seeing hundreds of millions of dollars and thousands of jobs heading our way.
Through CCS, Louisiana is staying ahead of the curve.
