Woodland Biofuels Inc., based in Toronto, is proposing a groundbreaking project to construct a combined renewable natural gas (RNG) and green hydrogen complex in Reserve, St. John the Baptist Parish, Louisiana. The $1.35-billion project will involve the construction of a carbon-negative RNG plant in its first phase, followed by an 'ultra-green hydrogen' plant, making it potentially the largest of its kind globally upon completion. The complex, to be equipped with carbon capture and storage (CCS), is set to start commercial operation in 2028 and create 110 direct new jobs. The project aims to significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions, with Phase 1 expected to permanently remove 210,000 tonnes/year and Phase 2 to have an additional CO2-removal capacity of 660,000 tpy. Woodland Biofuels, known for its biomass-to-biofuel demonstration plant in Sarnia, Ontario, plans to implement its production process at the Reserve complex, which could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 283% compared to traditional methods. Louisiana Economic Development is providing substantial support for the project, offering Woodland Biofuels a comprehensive incentives package valued at more than $250 million. This package includes a $10-million performance-based grant, access to workforce training programs, and participation in Louisiana's Industrial Tax Exemption Program (ITEP). The project's front-end engineering and design study is expected to be completed by second-quarter 2025, with a final investment decision anticipated by yearend 2025. The initiative signifies a significant step towards sustainable energy production and economic growth in the region.
