Green Energy Revolution in Port of South Louisiana
Key Ideas
  • Canadian company Woodland Biofuels to build RNG plant and ultra-green hydrogen facility at Port of South Louisiana, using waste biomass for sustainable biofuel.
  • Louisiana Economic Development offers $250 million in incentives to support the project, aiming to remove 210,000 tonnes of CO2 annually in the first phase and 660,000 tonnes in the second phase.
  • Project set to begin commercial operations in 2028, creating jobs, stimulating local growth, and contributing significantly to the region's economy.
  • Woodland Biofuels' innovative approach to renewable energy with waste biomass is a step towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions and achieving environmental sustainability.
A significant investment in renewable energy is underway at the Port of South Louisiana, where Canadian company Woodland Biofuels is set to develop a renewable natural gas (RNG) plant and ultra-green hydrogen facility. The project, located at the Globalplex facility in the port, aims to use waste biomass to produce sustainable biofuel. The first phase of the initiative is scheduled to commence commercial operations in 2028, with a focus on removing 210,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide annually. The subsequent phase is projected to eliminate close to 660,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide, with plans for potential underground storage. To bolster the endeavor, the Louisiana Economic Development agency has put forth a $250 million incentive package for Woodland Biofuels, including performance-based grants and workforce development solutions. The project is anticipated to have a substantive impact on the region by creating employment opportunities, driving local economic growth, and aiding in achieving environmental targets. Additionally, the development of renewable energy infrastructure is viewed as a critical stride towards reducing the state's carbon footprint and fulfilling its environmental commitments. Woodland Biofuels' utilization of waste biomass for sustainable biofuel production is recognized as an innovative method to curtail greenhouse gas emissions and advance renewable energy practices, marking a promising investment in the region's future.
