This episode is centered on Carbon Capture and Sequestration, focused on the opportunity CCS offers in the decarbonization of America’s industrial regions and the opportunities it holds for job creators and capital deployers regarding their goals for carbon emission reduction.

We also discuss the importance of CCS as a solution for carbon emissions as an item important for Louisiana’s job preservation and creation, including metrics on the number, jobs, and investment regarding carbon capture projects specific to Louisiana.

We explore the smart approach to domestic decarbonization focused on delivering responsible, reliable, and cost-effective solutions to create sustainable value.

Also included are thoughts on China appearing to have the advantage regarding the mining and processing of rare earth minerals necessary for battery manufacturing, and the growing concerns this may lead to an erosion of America’s superiority regarding energy with views regarding carbon capture and sequestration providing an economic edge to American energy production.

We visit the overall safety of CCS, understanding the operational assurances of eliminating environmental risks through safe and reliable solutions.
