Woodland Biofuels, based in Toronto, announced a massive $1.35 billion investment to establish the world's largest carbon negative renewable natural gas plant and ultra-green hydrogen facility in Louisiana. The project, to be located at the Port of South Louisiana, is set to create a substantial number of jobs and contribute to environmental sustainability. Phase 1 of the project alone is expected to generate 110 direct new jobs in St. John the Baptist Parish, with a total of 869 jobs, including permanent and indirect roles. The facility will utilize waste biomass to produce sustainable biofuel for various applications. Woodland Biofuels aims to permanently remove hundreds of thousands of tons of carbon dioxide annually, with Phase 1 projected to remove 210,000 tonnes per year. Phase 2 of the project will further enhance carbon dioxide removal, totaling approximately 660,000 tonnes annually. The company plans to leverage Louisiana's workforce and infrastructure to execute the project efficiently. Louisiana Economic Development estimates a significant economic impact from the project, and the state has offered Woodland Biofuels incentives worth over $250 million to support the initiative. The project marks a positive step towards environmental sustainability and economic growth in the region, with commercial operations for the first phase scheduled to commence in 2028.
