Abstract
Carbon capture and sequestration is the process of trapping carbon dioxide emitted by industrial processes and depositing it beneath Earth’s surface. Spurred on by tax credits offered by recent federal legislation, companies are racing to implement the technology in geologically suitable locations. However, the community around Lake Maurepas, Louisiana, has resisted efforts by Air Products and Chemicals to green-light such a project under the lake. In this episode of Stereo Chemistry , C&EN reporters Rick Mullin and Craig Bettenhausen discuss the community’s fears about the implementation of carbon capture and sequestration around Lake Maurepas and the response from Air Products. This conversation is part of C&EN Uncovered, a podcast project in which reporters take listeners behind the scenes of their cover stories. Mullin’s cover story about the battle for Lake Maurepas appeared in the April 3, 2023, issue of C&EN. Listen at cenm.ag/uncovered-lakemaurepas .
