Collaboration for a Sustainable Energy Future: ExxonMobil and Air Liquide's Low-Carbon Hydrogen Project
Key Ideas
- ExxonMobil and Air Liquide partner to produce low-carbon hydrogen and ammonia, supporting a cleaner energy future.
- Air Liquide will supply oxygen and nitrogen through Large Modular Air separation units, minimizing the project's carbon footprint.
- The world's largest low-carbon hydrogen production facility is expected to capture over 98% of associated CO2 emissions, contributing to decarbonization efforts.
- The collaboration aims to drive the growth of the low-carbon hydrogen market in the U.S. Gulf Coast region, facilitating industrial decarbonization.
ExxonMobil and Air Liquide have joined forces in a strategic agreement to enhance the production of low-carbon hydrogen and ammonia at ExxonMobil's Baytown, Texas facility. This collaboration will facilitate the transportation of low-carbon hydrogen using Air Liquide's established pipeline network. Air Liquide is set to construct and manage four Large Modular Air separation units to provide essential oxygen and nitrogen to the facility on a daily basis. These units will prioritize low-carbon electricity to reduce the project's environmental impact significantly.
The partnership between ExxonMobil and Air Liquide marks a significant advancement in the low-carbon energy sector, with ExxonMobil's hydrogen production plant anticipated to become the largest globally. The facility is projected to generate an impressive 1 billion cubic feet of low-carbon hydrogen every day, alongside over 1 million tons of ammonia annually, with a remarkable 98% capture rate of associated CO2 emissions, demonstrating a strong commitment to sustainability.
Dan Ammann, President of ExxonMobil Low Carbon Solutions, expressed optimism about the collaboration, highlighting the reinforcement of the Baytown project through streamlined hydrogen distribution and secure feedstock supplies. This initiative aligns with the broader objective of fostering a thriving low-carbon hydrogen market in the U.S. Gulf Coast region, ultimately supporting industrial clients in their efforts to decarbonize operations and reduce environmental impact.
