Multinational conglomerate, Honeywell has announced that oil and gas corporation, ExxonMobil will deploy one of Honeywell’s carbon capture technologies (Honeywell’s CO2 fractionation and hydrogen purification system) at its integrated complex in Baytown, Texas, USA.
This technology is expected to enable ExxonMobil to capture about 7 million tons (6.35 million tonnes) of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year.
Dan Ammann, president of ExxonMobil low carbon solutions, says: ‘ExxonMobil’s investment in carbon capture technology shows our commitment to supporting customers in their decarbonisation efforts and to reducing emissions at our own operations. The scale of this project is expected to enable up to 30% of Scope 1 and 2 emissions from our Baytown facility by switching from natural gas as a fuel source to low-carbon hydrogen.’
‘The use of Honeywell’s technology enables ExxonMobil to reduce CO2 emissions at a large scale. Our ready-now carbon capture technology works to decarbonise production processes and is effective because it can allow for significant emissions reduction that can play a major role in the energy transition,’ adds said Barry Glickman, vice president and general manager, Honeywell.
