The collaboration represents a major milestone in exploring co-located clean fuel production and carbon removal infrastructure, the companies said. MSP will use its Class VI carbon sequestration site, expected to be operational in 2027, to permanently store CO2 captured from Southern Energy’s plant, targeted to begin production in 2028.
“This is a powerful alignment of technology, infrastructure, and purpose,” said Adam Farris, CEO of Monroe Sequestration Partners. “We’re thrilled to work with Southern Energy—an innovator with bold, climate-forward goals. Together, we are laying the foundation for scalable, high-impact carbon solutions that transform sustainability into real economic value.”
Monroe Sequestration Partners was built to meet the growing demand for permanent, verifiable CO2 removal. With a strategically located Class VI storage site and the backing of DevvStream’s carbon credit expertise, MSP offers a platform for emitters looking to decarbonise and generate value through environmental assets.
The collaboration with Southern Energy is a natural fit, combining MSP’s sequestration infrastructure with an innovative biomass-to-fuel process designed to serve global transportation markets.
Southern Energy will produce low-carbon methanol and SAF using syngas technology and biomass sourced from the Southern Wood Basket, the largest in North America. The project will generate 45Q tax incentives and voluntary carbon credits.
“This partnership is exactly the kind of collaboration we envisioned when forming MSP—to connect strategic industrial emitters with carbon storage solutions that are both technically sound and commercially viable,” Farris added. “Our work with Southern Energy represents a shared commitment to climate innovation, and we’re proud to be part of a project that will help define the future of low-carbon fuel.”
Louisiana is positioned to accelerate carbon capture and storage projects, being one of only four U.S. states with EPA-approved primacy over Class VI wells. This status allows MSP to fast-track project timelines, offering a critical regulatory advantage in a state already attracting billions in CCS investment.
“Louisiana is becoming the carbon capture capital of the U.S., and MSP is proud to be part of that transformation,” said Farris. “Together with Southern Energy, we’re building resilient carbon infrastructure that supports long-term environmental, regulatory, and economic success.”
