Geologist Corey Shircliff works for Cavern Solutions in Baton Rouge and was a guest speaker at the LFA's convention in August 2025. A former state employee who worked with permitting wells in Louisiana, she has great knowledge about the new permits concerning Class VI wells that allow for injection of CO2 underground. This subject is topical in forestry as some companies looking to turn wood into biofuels would use residuals and small-diameter wood — pulpwood — such as paper mills used. Because of the decline of paper mills in Louisiana, the new biofuels industry could be a way landowners could get thinning performed, allowing their forests to grow larger wood for sawmills, but also it would help in the sustainable forestry cycle so that forests are healthier.
