Delivering Real World Progress

We are making a big impact by unleashing the power of the world’s smallest molecules.

See how our drive to net zero can help customers shrink their carbon footprints with low-carbon hydrogen, low-carbon ammonia and carbon capture and storage (CCS), and learn how lithium fits into our transportation mission.

We’re leading the energy transition today at scale.
The proof is in our progress.

Our low-carbon technology solutions

Our portfolio includes carbon capture and storage, low-carbon hydrogen, low-carbon ammonia and Mobil™ Lithium. As leaders of the energy transition, we’re leveraging advanced technology in subsurface exploration, pipeline construction, as well as our technical expertise and ability to complete large-scale global projects.

Low-Carbon Hydrogen and Ammonia
Low-Carbon Hydrogen and Ammonia

Building a new market to meet future demand
At our Baytown facility we are developing the world’s largest low-carbon hydrogen and ammonia production facility. The plant is expected to produce approximately 900,000 tons of low-carbon hydrogen and more than 1 million tons of low-carbon ammonia annually. During production we’ll use our advanced technologies to capture and safely store more than 98% of the associated CO₂underground.

This supply will be used for customers, either as low-carbon hydrogen or low-carbon ammonia, to help reduce their emissions. For customers fuel-switching from natural gas, they will see minimal disruption to their operations at start-up due to ExxonMobil’s expertise in this process.

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. Industrial customers are already seeing the advantages of this approach; we've recently signed four customers in the Gulf Coast, totaling more than 5 metric tons annually (MTA) of CCS services – the equivalent of transitioning 2 million gasoline-powered cars to electric vehicles.

Mobil™ Lithium
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 that has fewer environmental impacts than 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.¹
