Livingston Parish is hosting an informational meeting to discuss the risks and mechanics of carbon capture and sequestration. The session aims to educate the public on the technology and its potential impact on the local community. District 8 Councilman Dean Coates stated the meeting is not tied to a specific active project but serves as a general forum for residents to ask questions and understand the implications of carbon sequestration in their area.

Interesting that they are framing this as a meeting on dangers before any specific project is even on the table. Usually, this means there is a push for 45Q tax credit projects in the region and the local government is bracing for the backlash.
True, but the real question is where the pipelines are going. You can capture all the carbon you want, but if the transport infrastructure is not planned, the project is dead on arrival. I wonder if they have any actual site maps yet.
Just a quick heads up on this one. It is a general info session in French Settlement. No specific company mentioned, but it is a good sign that they are trying to get ahead of the community concerns before the developers show up.
