Cleco Power, LLCs primary goal of the Cleco Diamond Vault Project is to capture and sequester carbon dioxide (CO2) near Boyce, Rapides Parish, Louisiana. The project is planned as a multi injection well facility with six injection wells being proposed.

Cleco Power is investing in the development of a new, state-of-the-art carbon capture facility located in the heart of central Louisiana at the Brame Energy Center. Project Diamond Vault will retrofit Cleco’s existing Madison 3 plant to reduce up to 95% of its carbon dioxide emissions through carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) technology.

CO2 will be captured and stored in geologic formations below Cleco's Brame Energy Center in Lena, La.
