We expect to produce 1 billion cubic feet per day of low-carbon hydrogen from natural gas and more than 1 million metric tons of ammonia per year while capturing approximately 98% of the associated CO₂ emissions.¹

>14 MTA

We have grown our commitment to transport and store more than 14 MTA² of captured CO₂ across a broad range of hard-to-abate and heavy industries across the Gulf Coast.

Since drilling our first well in the Smackover formation in southern Arkansas, we’ve been able to produce lab samples of battery-grade lithium in just eight months, a process that would typically take a few years.

ExxonMobil™ Low Carbon Hydrogen and Ammonia
ExxonMobil™ Low Carbon Hydrogen and Ammonia

Building a new market to meet future demand
ExxonMobil is working to develop the world’s largest low-carbon hydrogen facility with low carbon intensity ammonia available for offtake at its Baytown, Texas complex.¹ The project will have access to lower emission natural gas from the Permian Basin. The facility is expected to produce differentiated, low-carbon intensity hydrogen with approximately 98% of carbon dioxide (CO₂) captured and sequestered.¹ Through our advantaged value chain integration and conversion of the low-carbon intensity hydrogen, ExxonMobil intends to bring a commercially competitive low-carbon ammonia product into the market.

Carbon Capture and Storage
Carbon Capture and Storage

Scaling integrated solutions to accelerate CCS adoption
We own and operate the largest CO₂pipeline network in the U.S., along with more than 10 onshore storage sites. Compared to point-to-point solutions, our pipeline network across multiple states gives customers more flexibility, reliability, scale and cost savings. We have grown our commitment to transport and store more than 14 MTA² of captured CO₂ across a broad range of hard-to-abate industries across the Gulf Coast.

Mobil™ Lithium

Delivering a new source of lithium to North America
We successfully executed our first lithium-focused drilling campaign in Arkansas, using Direct Lithium Extraction, a process reducing the environmental impacts compared to traditional hard-rock mining. In a short time frame, we set up a lab and produced battery-grade product from real resources, achieving in months what would typically take years.

Leveraging our existing skills in subsurface exploration, drilling, refining and chemicals enables us to bring meaningful scale to this technology and provide auto battery manufacturers with a more reliable lithium supply option with fewer environmental impacts.

These new sources from ExxonMobil offer the promise of reliable supplies of domestically produced battery-grade lithium that has 2/3 less carbon intensity than hard-rock mining.⁴
