Sponsored by Ascension Chamber of Commerce
Ascension Parish is emerging as one of Louisiana’s most trusted centers for industrial growth and energy innovation. Over the past two decades, more than $17 billion in capital investment from companies like Chevron, BASF, CF Industries, Methanex, and Shell has fueled expansion across the parish. Now, projects such as Air Products’ $4.5 billion blue hydrogen complex and Monarch Energy’s $426 million green hydrogen facility are positioning Ascension at the forefront of the Gulf South’s clean energy future. Supported by strong infrastructure, including the new Energy Transition Parkway, and a skilled workforce from Ascension Public Schools, River Parishes Community College, LSU, and Southern University, the region continues to attract global investment. Through strategic partnerships and trusted networks, the Ascension Chamber of Commerce helps businesses connect, collaborate, and grow where Louisiana’s energy future is taking shape.
