"Monitoring Carbon Capture in Lake Maurepas with Buoys"

Scientists from Southeastern Louisiana University have deployed research buoys in Lake Maurepas to independently monitor the area while Air Products implements a carbon capture project. The buoys are equipped with sensors to monitor water quality and will provide real-time data to the public. The project has faced opposition from residents and officials concerned about its impact on the local ecosystem, but Air Products hopes that the independent scientific monitoring will help allay these concerns. The company is currently conducting initial test wells and plans to store 95% of the plant's carbon emissions below the lake by 2026.
