Stop the Blue Hydrogen Threat. Stand with communities - donate today.

Hi John,

Good news! Intense public pressure forced Air Products to pause new spending on a proposed $4.5 billion blue hydrogen-to-ammonia plant in Louisiana’s Ascension Parish. Locals are fighting the project because of pollution, noise, traffic, and other unjust impacts.

This move underscores the strength of grassroots resistance, including our door-to-door outreach, public education, and town halls with partners.

But make no mistake: the project can still be revived, and the fight is far from over.

Earthworks has knocked on thousands of doors for years, met families one-on-one, and hosted monthly town halls to mobilize communities. We need your support to sustain our work—will you pitch in today?

STOP THE BLUE HYDROGEN PROJECT

Air Products could still get the resources to build this project. We have to keep the heat on. Here’s the work your support makes possible:

Organizing legal and scientific briefings on wetland and swamp impacts.
Tracking air quality data and pushing for robust pipeline safety inspections.
Mobilizing volunteers for upcoming public hearings and advocacy days.
Deepening alliances with faith groups, neighborhood associations, and frontline communities.

This pause underscores what we’ve seen firsthand: communities are waking up to carbon capture and storage (CCS) as a fossil fuel lifeline, not a climate solution.

“This outcome is a direct result of community-driven advocacy, and it shows the power of grassroots organizing in standing up to industry influence.”

Your help ensures we keep knocking on doors, hosting town halls, and pushing decision-makers to protect Louisiana’s people, wetlands, culture, and air.

DONATE NOW

With your support, we’ll treat this pause like the call to action it is: pressing forward as if we’d never heard the news.

In solidarity,
