that goes back to access to land, resources and education,” Woods said. “There are folks on the ground who are doing a lot of work, even if they aren’t able to show up in strong force to some of these task force meetings. I want to make sure that doesn’t get lost.” No carbon-capture projects have yet been built in Louisiana. But there are worries about the safety and efficacy of CCS after a 2020 leak of a carbon pipeline in Satartia, Mississippi sent 45 peo- ple to the hospital. Others don’t yet know enough to be concerned. Sharon Lavigne, a leader of Rise St. James, a grass- roots environmental advocacy group in her predominantly Black community, says her neighbors are mostly unaware of how carbon capture and sequestration works. “Lots of people don’t understand it,” she said. “They think it’s a good thing because they don’t know the health effects of it.” To date, residents from predomi- nantly white communities have been the majority of people showing up to the midday legislative task force meetings at the state Capitol to express their objections to CCS. At the task force’s most recent meeting last Monday, a small crowd gathered, with concerns about a project that would inject carbon captured from a local chemical company deep under- neath Lake Maurepas, a recre- ational estuary between Baton Rouge and New Orleans. Such a project has concerned environmentalists and recreational boaters alike for a year now. Daytime hearings At the task force’s most recent meeting on Monday, Randy Delatte, president-elect for Livingston Parish said that he worries the carbon injected far below the water will escape through 52 nearby aban- doned oil and gas wells. “Our concern is Lake Maure- pas,” Delatte said. “Our concern is that the people are not being heard.” Darren Burns, who testified dur- ing the Nov. 29 meeting, said CCS would transform the lake into an industrial dumpsite. “This is not clean energy; it’s dirty,” Burns said in his impas- sioned plea. “Have you done your homework? This will produce more carbon than it captures.” Lisa Cothern, another defender of Lake Maurepas, said: “There is no guarantee this stuff is never going to leak.” People from low-income or oth- erwise-vulnerable communities are likely to face more obstacles in traveling to Baton Rouge to testify or hear testimony on CCS and a wide range of other issues. Keith Hall, chair of the carbon- capture task force, said the group has been operating under the assumption that meetings were to take place at the state Capitol dur- ing business hours, like all other legislative committees. “None of us asked that question if we could meet later in the evening or in other places,” said Hall, director of Louisiana State University’s Energy Law Center. “It would be great if we had more comments from other areas.” Hall doesn’t think there would be time to hold additional meet- ings outside of Baton Rouge given the tight, two-month time- frame that remains for conclud- ing the task force’s work. Researchers from the state’s uni- versities and advocates from the oil and gas industry testified that they understand the fears from res- idents and fishermen, but that CCS’s potential for job creation and revenue outweigh the proba- bility of catastrophic events. “This is an opportunity to take federal money coming in and create jobs,” said Mike Moncla, president of the Louisiana Oil and Gas Association. “We can’t keep our tal- ent here because there are no jobs.” Proposed projects are in a hold- ing pattern as the state waits to see if the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will grant Louisiana permitting authority, called primacy, over the Class VI injection wells used to store carbon dioxide underground. But environmental advocates claim the state doesn’t have the personnel or political will to prop- erly regulate injection wells, which could further harm residents in marginalized communities already overburdened by pollution from the oil and gas industry.

Read the Orleans Parish Sheriff Real Estate Sale Notices online at www.louisianaweekly.com Public outcry against carbon capture in Louisiana growing Continued from Page 1 additional technical and field workers handling the oversight of the state’s CCS program should primacy authority be granted. “Our office can and will provide a (more) robust and efficient review of the applications and the oversight of operations than the EPA can and without sacrificing protective standards,” Edwards said in her prepared statement. Task force launches The legislative task force held its first meeting in late November, nearly three months after the body was supposed to start its work. It is mandated to submit a full report of its findings to the Senate Committee on Natural Resources by Feb. 15. That short window is another con- cern for Woods, of the Center for International Environmental Law, who fears the public wasn’t given enough time to weigh in. But Woods sees the fact that the task force is accepting comments outside of meeting times is “a good sign.” The public can submit written statements t o snatr@legis.la.go v . The task force is the brainchild of state Sen. Heather Cloud, a Republican from Turkey Creek, La. Her bill framed CCS as having “massive” potential for job creation, energy production and tax revenue. A recent analysis by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory pro- jected the country’s decarbonization efforts could create more than 444,000 long-term jobs. The task force includes Hall, from the LSU Energy Law Center, another LSU professor, attorneys specializing in environmental law or industry and a member of the state Attorney General’s Office. Member Greg Upton, interim director of LSU’s Center for Energy Studies, recently testified before a congressional subcommit- tee that reducing fossil fuel use would put the country’s burgeon- ing CCS industry at risk by cutting available carbon. “In my opinion, policies aimed at reducing fossil fuel supply in the U.S. put this decarbonization strat- egy at risk, as investments in decarbonizing this industrial sup- ply chain are likely to slow if firms anticipate reduced access to feed- stocks,” Upton said. Questions about CCS safety loom For people who live and work near CCS sites, there are also concerns around the potential for earthquakes, groundwater con- tamination and CO2 leaking back into the atmosphere through the thousands of abandoned and unplugged oil wells already scat- tered throughout Louisiana. Lavigne speaks at town hall meetings and canvasses neighbor- hoods in her community in St. James Parish to educate people on CCS. In 2022, Lavigne led a suc- cessful legal fight against a petro- chemical facility whose expan- sion would have tripled the pollu- tion rates in the region. James Hiatt, founder of For a Better Bayou, and Kaitlyn Joshua, a community organizer for the Power Coalition for Equity and Justice, are doing similar outreach in the industrial-heavy, disadvan- taged communities in Lake Charles and Ascension Parish. CCS is becoming a hot-button issue in both areas, which are already plagued with pollution from petrochemical and liquefied natural gas facilities. “Everybody is skeptical of them storing whatever under- ground for eternity,” Hiatt said. “It’s unknown. No one wants to be the guinea pig.” Hiatt, like Lavigne, says just because people from their commu- nities haven’t attended task force meetings doesn’t mean they are any less concerned about the impacts carbon capture and pipeline projects will have on their areas. Lake Charles is a more than two-hour drive from Baton Rouge, and St. James Parish is about an hour away from the capital city. Joshua says holding meetings in the middle of the day at the state Capitol feels like state leaders want to exclude voices from those living in marginalized communi- ties. She’s rallying parents wanting to stop a project that would be located less than a mile from an elementary school in Sorrento. “It’s really hard trying to get ahead of this,” she said. “That can be challenging in a community that’s so friendly to industry. But with carbon capture, we’re seeing folks have concerns about it.” Lake Maurepas focus of concern So far, the proposed project that has received the most atten- tion and public outcry is in southeast Louisiana. There, chemical company Air Continued on Page 11
