Abstract
ExxonMobil has awarded the front-end engineering and design contract for a low-carbon hydrogen plant at its Baytown, Texas, petrochemical complex to Technip Energies. The plant will make about 30 million m 3 per day of hydrogen from natural gas. It will capture and store 7 million metric tons (t) per year of carbon dioxide associated with the hydrogen production. Using this low-carbon hydrogen at the complex as fuel will reduce emissions there by 30%. ExxonMobil also aims to make any capture and storage infrastructure it builds available for other local emitters. In 2021, the company unveiled an ambitious plan to build a system in the Houston area to capture and store 100 million t per year of CO 2 from local industrial sites. It expects to make a final investment decision for the Baytown project in 2024 and complete it in 2027 or 2028.
