Emerson selected by Strategic Biofuels for Louisiana carbon capture projects

Emerson (EMR) has been chosen to automate Strategic Biofuels’ $2B landmark Louisiana Green Fuels power facility in Caldwell Parish. The project consists of a wood-fired power plant fully integrated with commercial-scale carbon capture and sequestration, delivering carbon-neutral electricity to Louisiana’s grid. At full operation, LGF will convert 1.3 million tons of forestry residuals each year-material that would otherwise be left to decompose or be burned-into renewable baseload power, while capturing and permanently storing 1.1 million metric tons of CO2 annually in secure geologic formations nearly a mile underground. The project will generate 100 MW of clean, dispatchable electricity, positioning Louisiana as a leader in carbon-neutral energy production. Emerson will deploy its DeltaV Automation Platform, along with a full suite of advanced automation, measurement and reliability technologies.
