Letters Carbon capture key to Louisiana’s energy future
Well no. 1, painted in purple and gold along with other piping, sits inside the LSU Petroleum Engineering Research, Training and Testing Lab in an undated photo from LSU. The lab, which has been around for decades and is home to the familiar oil derrick on the south side of campus, will be adding a new capture sequestration testing and learning well in 2025. LSU is embracing applied research for the energy transition away from fuels that produce carbon emissions. The future 7,900-foot well will not inject carbon dioxide into the subsurface, LSU says.
