Bia Energy Port of Caddo-Bossier

The Bia Energy project at the Port of Caddo-Bossier in northwest Louisiana is a low-carbon methanol production facility designed to capture and permanently store CO₂ emissions from methanol synthesis rather than release them to the atmosphere. The facility will produce approximately 550,000 metric tons per year of blue and bio-methanol, leveraging hydrogen both as a fuel source and feedstock to reduce lifecycle emissions by over 92 percent compared with conventional methanol production. The project has completed Front-End Engineering Design and major permitting for the $1.2 billion, 74-acre site, and includes a carbon capture system developed in collaboration with CapturePoint LLC. Captured CO₂ will be transported by pipeline to CapturePoint’s Central Louisiana Regional Carbon Storage Hub (CENLA Hub) and permanently injected into deep underground storage formations, with expected capacity to sequester up to 250,000 metric tons of CO₂ annually once fully operational. Bia Energy has secured a 20-year commercialization and marketing agreement with Macquarie Group to sell and distribute the low-carbon methanol to industrial, maritime, manufacturing, and other end markets.
