US EditionAllen Parish considering carbon capture regulations - American Press
- On Monday, Allen Parish enacted a new ordinance that sets rules for all wells regulated under the Safe Drinking Water Act, such as those used for carbon storage.
- This ordinance is introduced in the context of ongoing disputes between rural parishes and industry advocates involved in efforts to capture and store carbon dioxide in Louisiana.
- The Louisiana CO2 Alliance, led by elected officials from Allen and neighboring parishes, secured public funding and actively lobbies, with Allen Parish allocating $1,450 to Savant Strategies and $6,000 for an environmental risk assessment.
- The House Natural Resources Committee held nearly 13 hours of hearings, approving four bills including one ending eminent domain for carbon pipelines and another improving landowner compensation, while rejecting seven other bills limiting carbon capture development.
- The ordinance may face legal challenges as ExxonMobil, which acquired Denbury Inc. And is developing carbon storage in Allen Parish, is likely to contest local regulations amid the high economic stakes tied to carbon capture projects.

Parish responds: On Monday, Allen Parish approved an ordinance establishing regulations for carbon storage wells. “One of the reasons they (CO2 companies) picked Allen Parish is because we have no ordinances or zoning and we are going to keep getting taken advantage of, but you have to be careful because you don’t regulate your locals,” Roland Hollins, an Allen parish Police Jury member, told the American Press. “But I think it’s time that we r…
