ExxonMobil and Air Liquide Partner for Low-Carbon Hydrogen Production in Texas
Key Ideas
  • ExxonMobil and Air Liquide have agreed to support the production of low-carbon hydrogen and ammonia at ExxonMobil's Baytown facility in Texas.
  • Air Liquide will invest up to $850 million to build, own, and operate four Large Modular Air separation units, supplying oxygen and nitrogen to reduce the project's carbon footprint.
  • The partnership aims to enable the transportation of low-carbon hydrogen through Air Liquide's pipeline network, making it the world's largest low-carbon hydrogen project with significant ammonia production and emissions capture.
  • ExxonMobil's hydrogen production facility is expected to produce 1 billion cubic feet of low-carbon hydrogen daily and over 1 million tons of ammonia annually, capturing more than 98% of associated CO2 emissions.
ExxonMobil and Air Liquide have announced an agreement to collaborate on the production of low-carbon hydrogen and ammonia at ExxonMobil's Baytown facility in Texas. Air Liquide will invest up to $850 million to construct and operate four Large Modular Air separation units, which will provide oxygen and nitrogen to the facility. The units will primarily use low-carbon electricity to reduce the overall carbon footprint of the project. This partnership will facilitate the transportation of low-carbon hydrogen through Air Liquide's existing pipeline network. The initiative is part of ExxonMobil's Low Carbon Solutions program and is a significant step towards the expansion of the hydrogen market. The collaboration aims to establish the world's largest low-carbon hydrogen project, with the Baytown facility expected to generate 1 billion cubic feet of low-carbon hydrogen daily and produce over 1 million tons of ammonia annually. Moreover, the facility plans to capture more than 98% of the associated CO2 emissions, highlighting a strong commitment to sustainability and emissions reduction in the energy sector.
