Carbon removal developer Southern Energy has picked Monroe Sequestration Partners (MSP), a 50% affiliate of DevvStream, as a trusted partner to handle the storage operations for CO2 captured at its planned Louisiana biofuels plant.
The two companies signed a strategic collaboration agreement under which MSP will store carbon dioxide captured at Southern Energy’s biomass-to-methanol and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) plant, scheduled for construction in Louisiana.
This $1 billion facility, projected to begin production in 2028, will use biomass sourced from the Southern Wood Basket— a region considered the largest timber and biomass producer in the United States.
The groundbreaking plant will utilize the biomass to produce biofuel like methanol and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), generating carbon removal credits to be rolled out on the voluntary carbon market and qualifying for 45Q tax credit benefits.
Positioned in Northern Louisiana, Monroe Sequestration Partners has emerged as the perfect associate for Southern Energy’s decarbonization vision.
To permanently store the CO2 captured at Southern Energy’s Louisiana facility, MSP will leverage its Class VI storage site, expected to come online in 2027.
MSP is driven by a professional team that relies on carbon credit expertise from DevvStream to deliver solutions for companies looking to decarbonize and generate environmental assets value.
Adam Farris, CEO of Monroe Sequestration Partners, shared that the company is thrilled to partner with Southern Energies, calling this collaboration “a powerful alignment of technology, infrastructure, and purpose.”

He commented, “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.”
“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,” he added.
Farris goes on to note that Louisiana is positioning itself as the carbon capture capital of the U.S., adding that MSP is proud to be part of that transformation.
He said, “Together with Southern Energy, we’re building resilient carbon infrastructure that supports long-term environmental, regulatory, and economic success.”
