Background

What is the full economic potential for Louisiana if the Carbon Capture/Utilization/Sequestration (CCUS) industry grows and unlocks a low-carbon industry? What industries align well with Louisiana’s resources (people, geography, logistics, low-carbon materials, low-carbon energy, existing industry base, etc.)? What economic policies and approaches are needed to attract new businesses from those industries to develop here, downstream of low-carbon industry? These types of questions are extremely important yet poorly studied.
