Louisiana Clean Energy Complex
Air Products is developing a clean energy complex that creates hydrogen with little to no emissions during production. The project accelerates the future of clean energy as well as the economic development of local communities. Using technology called carbon capture and sequestration (CCS), 95 percent of the carbon emissions from the plant will be captured and stored deep underground.
Louisiana has announced its intention to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050. By preventing CO₂ from entering the atmosphere, Air Products will lessen the greenhouse impact in Louisiana, allowing industries and the state to meet new emissions reduction goals — that, in turn, will save thousands of local jobs.
How It Works
Expected onstream in 2026, the Louisiana Clean Energy complex will make Louisiana a leader in the United States' clean energy transition. The complex will produce more than 750 million standard cubic feet per day of blue hydrogen for Air Products’ pipeline customers along the Gulf Coast and blue ammonia for global hydrogen markets, including transportation and mobility.

Ideal Geology for CCS
Louisiana’s geology is among the best in the world for permanent CO₂ sequestration. Specifically, the geologic pore space located a mile under
Lake Maurepas is the ideal kind of rock to safely store CO₂.

testing
Testing is underway right now to confirm these characteristics before any CO₂ is stored in the pore space.
stable
Of the approximately 30 CCS projects in the last 50 years, there has never been a leak from a CCS well.
secure
Rock formation in pore space is covered by caprock. Caprock acts as a seal to make sure the CO₂ is not released back into the atmosphere.
