“OPINION: Carbon capture and storage maximizes value of land

Louisiana’s land and natural resources have long been the backbone of our economy. As a landowner we at RoyOMartin know firsthand how vital it is to balance economic growth with responsible land management. That’s why we support carbon capture and storage (CCS), a proven, safe technology that strengthens our industry’s future while keeping Louisiana at the forefront of sustainable development.

Carbon Capture and Storage isn’t just an abstract concept, it’s a key part of our land development strategy. It provides an opportunity to maximize the value of our land while supporting industries that fuel our economy. By allowing for responsible carbon storage, we can ensure that Louisiana remains a leader in energy and industry while continuing to manage our forests and lands effectively.

We are confident that the decades of research and real-world experience confirm that CCS can be done safely and effectively. Louisiana has the opportunity to lead in this space, but that means allowing responsible projects that benefit businesses, communities and the state to move forward.”
