In 2022, Cleco secured a $9 million congressional earmark for a carbon emissions study at the Madison 3 (MAD 3) energy plant. Project Diamond Vault was the result, and with it came a 95% reduction of carbon dioxide emissions equating to the prevention of more than 100 million metric tonnes of CO2. The first-of-its-kind project relies on Louisiana’s unique geographical conditions for carbon sequestration and is expected to be fully operational by 2028.
