Meta, Facebook’s parent company, is set to build its largest-ever data center in northeast Louisiana, a $10 billion investment Gov. Jeff Landry called “transformational” for the state’s role in the AI infrastructure boom. Spanning 4 million square feet—roughly the size of 70 football fields—the facility will be constructed on 2,250 acres near Holly Ridge, making it one of the largest private investments in Louisiana’s history.
GNO, Inc., LSU, and Louisiana Economic Development (LED) celebrated a significant milestone in low-carbon technology with the launch of a state-of-the-art carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) research well at LSU’s Petroleum Engineering Research, Training, and Testing Laboratory. Funded by the $50 million federal “H2theFuture” grant awarded two years ago, the well is designed exclusively for research to advance carbon capture safety and monitoring practices.
