Strategic Biofuels is launching Phase One of the Louisiana Green Fuels (LGF) Project to lay the foundation for a groundbreaking clean energy initiative. This first phase focuses on building a 100MW wood-powered plant with advanced carbon capture technology in Caldwell Parish, Louisiana, an area chosen for its ideal geology, abundant forestry waste, and strong community support. By placing the plant directly above a company-owned underground reservoir, LGF can safely store over a million tons of captured CO₂ each year without relying on long pipelines. This approach not only delivers carbon-negative electricity to the state’s growing renewable energy market but also creates meaningful economic opportunities in one of the nation’s most underserved regions.
Approximately 1.3 million tons per year of forestry waste will be used as the feedstock for the 100 MW power plant. Approximately 25 MW will be used to operate the power plant, capture the CO2 it would have emitted, and permanently sequester the CO2 about a mile underground.
The remaining 75 MW of clean, carbon-negative electricity will be put onto Louisiana’s electric grid, improving its carbon footprint.
Sequestering the 1.1 million metric tons per year of CO2 from plant operations is equivalent to removing nearly 240,000 passenger cars from the road.
