Air Products Ends Carbon Capture Project in Ascension | New Orleans News
Description
Air Products is shutting down its controversial carbon capture project in Ascension Parish, citing the need to exit responsibly while wrapping up permits and collaborating with local authorities. The project, aimed at storing CO2 underground to reduce emissions, faced strong opposition from residents and environmental groups who questioned its safety, scalability, and long-term effectiveness. Despite regulatory hearings and public concerns over potential leaks and neighborhood risks, the company has decided to disengage from the Lake Maurepas site and pipeline routes, shifting focus to closing out all legal and operational ties to the initiative.
