ExxonMobil Corp., Irving, Texas, has signed a long-term contract with UK-based Linde Plc to capture carbon emissions at the chemical manufacturer’s new clean hydrogen plant in Beaumont, Texas, Bloomberg reported.
Exxon will capture and store as much as 2.2 million metric tons of carbon dioxide each year from the plant, which will supply hydrogen to a nearby facility producing clean ammonia run by Amsterdam-based OCI NV.
The deal follows a similar agreement, announced in October (GM Oct. 14, 2022), for Exxon to capture carbon from CF Industries Holdings Inc.’s ammonia plant in Donaldsonville, La.
