ExxonMobil has started transporting and storing captured CO2 to their project in Gillis, Louisiana, its second active commercial CCS operation in the state.

Capturing CO₂ before it reaches the market

The project is expected to remove up to 1.2 Mt of CO2/year from the natural gas stream before the treated gas is delivered to Gulf Coast markets, including LNG facilities.

Scaling up CCS in Louisiana

ExxonMobil says its two active Louisiana projects account for up to 3.2 Mt/year of contracted CO2, with
additional CCS projects planned for 2026.

“Carbon capture projects are essential to meeting society’s emission-reduction goals. These technologies offer one of the most practical, scalable pathways available today, and ExxonMobil has more than 40 years of experience in carbon capture with the ability to deliver results at global scale.”
