**LaPolitics: Gov. Jeff Landry Pauses New Carbon Capture Well Applications, Six Priority Projects Continue**
Governor Jeff Landry has temporarily paused the consideration of new applications for carbon capture wells in Louisiana. However, six priority projects are still moving forward despite the pause.
So, how significant are these projects to Louisiana’s economy? According to Louisiana economist Loren Scott, there are approximately $119 billion worth of projects that have been announced to be built in the state. These initiatives represent a substantial investment and could have profound economic impacts for Louisiana.
While companies are awaiting further guidance following the pause, the continuation of the priority projects indicates a commitment to advancing carbon capture efforts in the region. The development and implementation of these projects could play a key role in shaping Louisiana’s economic future.
