Woodland Biofuels RNG

The Woodland Biofuels ultra-green hydrogen facility is a proposed large-scale carbon-negative bioenergy and hydrogen project planned for the Globalplex multimodal terminal at the Port of South Louisiana in St. John the Baptist Parish, Louisiana. The approximately $1.35 billion development will be built in two phases, combining biomass gasification, renewable fuels production, and carbon capture and storage. Phase 1 focuses on developing what the company describes as the world’s largest carbon-negative renewable natural gas (RNG) facility, while Phase 2 adds an ultra-green hydrogen plant alongside potential production of other low-carbon fuels. Waste biomass will be converted into syngas, with CO₂ removed during processing and permanently stored underground, enabling carbon-negative fuel production. The project targets significant carbon removal through integrated CCS, with Phase 1 expected to remove approximately 210,000 tCO₂/year and Phase 2 roughly 660,000 tCO₂/year, positioning the facility as a large-scale carbon dioxide removal (CDR) initiative. Commercial operations for the first phase are projected to begin around 2028.
