Louisiana

Louisiana appears in The high cost of vacuuming carbon from the sky as the planned location for a larger [[HeirloomCarbonTechnologies|Heirloom Carbon Technologies]] Direct Air Capture project. The episode says the project could initially remove up to 200,000 tons of CO2 per year, though the timeline was uncertain when Amy Scott visited Heirloom.

The state also matters politically. Aaron Burns of Carbon180 says [[UnitedStatesCongress|Congress]] protected the planned Louisiana hub even as the Trump administration rescinded funding for other Biden-era carbon-removal projects, making Louisiana a case in Carbon Removal Political Durability.
