ExxonMobil Corporation has entered into a partnership with French industrial gas supplier Air Liquide to advance low-carbon hydrogen production along the U.S. Gulf Coast. The partnership aims to decarbonize industrial operations by transporting low-carbon hydrogen using Air Liquide's pipeline network. Air Liquide will build and operate modular air separation units at the Baytown site to produce low-carbon hydrogen and ammonia, significantly reducing carbon emissions. The Baytown facility is expected to capture over 98% of associated CO2 emissions and commence production in 2028. This collaboration bolsters ExxonMobil's strategy to expand the low-carbon hydrogen market, with future plans including a partnership with Japanese company JERA for ownership participation and ammonia procurement. The project signifies a significant advancement in sustainable practices, supporting global efforts to reduce industrial carbon emissions and transition towards cleaner energy solutions.
