Chevron Advancing New Carbon Capture and Storage Opportunity at Pascagoula Refinery
SUMMARY: Chevron’s Pascagoula Refinery, operating since 1963, produces nearly 7 million gallons of gasoline daily and has focused on reducing its carbon intensity. In 2023, the refinery contributed over $800 million to Mississippi’s economy. Chevron is also advancing a Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) project to capture and store CO2 emissions underground, potentially expanding to local industries. As the largest U.S. refinery, Pascagoula supports local jobs and the energy needs of the region and world, with the CCS project playing a key role in Chevron’s efforts to meet growing energy demands while lowering environmental impact.

SUMMARY: Mardi Gras, originally from French settlers in Biloxi and Mobile, is celebrated on Fat Tuesday before Lent, rooted in ancient pagan festivals. It became a prominent event in New Orleans, famously shutting down Bourbon Street. Traditional foods include King Cake, beignets, and jambalaya. Expanding beyond tradition, Italian dishes like castagnole, chiacchiere, and migliaccio offer unique alternatives. Castagnole are fried dough balls coated in sugar, while chiacchiere are crispy, liquor-infused strips. Migliaccio is a rich semolina cake seasoned with lemon and cinnamon. These Italian treats add diversity to the festivities, ensuring a delightful culinary experience during the Carnival season.

SUMMARY: The southeastern U.S. pine belt features three main species, with the Longleaf Pine (Pinus palustris) historically being the most dominant. Longleaf Pines are distinguishable by their long needles (up to 12 inches) and large cones (8-10 inches). Their unique needle arrangement resembles candelabras, resembling a ball of three needles. This species evolved to thrive in fire-prone environments, developing fire-resistant traits and a “grass-stage” that protects young saplings from flames. Once abundant, Longleaf Pines shaped diverse ecosystems, though human activities have altered this natural cycle. Despite challenges, Longleaf Pines remain a striking element of the pine forest landscape.
