In September, Strategic Biofuels announced a collaboration with Carbon Direct, a purpose-driven carbon management firm, to jointly advance the LGF project. The collaboration marks a significant step forward in scaling up durable carbon dioxide removal solutions and supporting the clean energy transition nationwide.
LGF will combine bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) to remove carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the atmosphere while producing carbon-negative electric power. The biomass power plant will use abundant regionally sourced forestry residues and sawmill waste to generate carbon-negative electricity
Once operational, the project is expected to sequester over one million metric tons of CO₂ each year in deep saline formations through three nearby Class VI geologic sequestration wells. The facility will power its CCS operations and export 75 MW of electricity to the Louisiana grid, directly supporting decarbonization goals. Carbon Direct’s scientists are working with the LGF project team to ensure best-in-class alignment with the Criteria for High-Quality Carbon Dioxide Removal.
