ExxonMobil Corporation has announced a collaboration with Air Liquide to bolster the production of hydrogen and ammonia at its integrated refining and petrochemical complex in Baytown, Texas. The partnership will facilitate the transportation of low-carbon hydrogen through Air Liquide's pipeline network. Air Liquide plans to invest up to $850 million to construct and operate four large modular air separation units, providing oxygen and nitrogen to the plant. These units will primarily utilize low-carbon electricity to minimize the project's carbon footprint. The agreement also includes supplying significant volumes of argon and rare gases to other Air Liquide customers in the market. If realized, ExxonMobil's proposed hydrogen production plant could generate 1 billion cubic feet per day of low-carbon hydrogen and over 1 million tonnes of ammonia annually, with the capture of more than 98% of associated CO2 emissions. The company aims to decarbonize segments of the Baytown complex by introducing a hydrogen production facility and a carbon capture and storage project. Funding from the federal government under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act could support these initiatives. However, a final investment decision is contingent on favorable government policies, regulatory permits, and market conditions, as stated by ExxonMobil.
