Louisiana is facing a legislative battle over carbon capture and storage (CCS) infrastructure. Key conflicts center on the use of eminent domain for CO2 pipelines and whether local parish governments should have the power to veto project permits. While industry groups argue that CCS is essential for keeping LNG and plastics manufacturing competitive in a low-carbon market, local opponents raise concerns over pipeline safety and property rights. This tension follows a 2025 moratorium on new injection well applications.
