Delivering industrial solutions

Big industries, big solutions

ExxonMobil knows industry. About two-thirds of the products we make are used by commercial and industrial companies - including electric utilities, trucking and other commercial transportation, and heavy industries like steel and cement. And of course, we’re an industrial company ourselves.

Reducing emissions from industry will be key to meeting society’s climate goals. That’s why we’re scaling up carbon capture and storage, and the next generation of industrial fuels - like hydrogen - which can help industries reduce emissions while continuing to provide essential products for the world.

These are more than emissions solutions; they’re the foundations of potential new industries focused on carbon reduction – and ExxonMobil is positioned to help lead the way.

Let’s deliver reliable carbon capture and storage

Our carbon capture and storage (CCS) network can help reduce carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions for key industries in the U.S. Our combined assets now include:

More than 1,300 miles of CO₂ pipeline owned and operated – largest in the U.S.
Multiple strategically positioned storage sites across the U.S. Gulf Coast
The potential to reduce CO₂ emissions by >100 million metric tons a year¹

We’re also working to advance CCS around the world.

Our solutions

Carbon capture and storage

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is proven technology that can capture large volumes of CO₂ emissions from industrial sources and store them underground, safely and permanently. With more than 40 years' experience, ExxonMobil is a global leader in CCS and we're advancing projects around the world to help us, and our customers, meet emission-reduction goals.

Direct air capture

Direct air capture (DAC) captures CO₂directly from the atmosphere. It can complement other technologies and offset emissions that are difficult to eliminate, so it will likely play a key role in reaching net zero. We’re testing our own unique design with the goal to, over time, create a scalable and economically viable solution.

Hydrogen

Hydrogen produces zero greenhouse gas emissions at its point of use. It's also versatile - suitable for power generation, trucking, and heat-intensive industries like steel and chemicals. We are scaling up production of low-carbon hydrogen to reduce CO₂ emissions in our own facilities, and helping others do the same.

Learn more about what we are doing to scale the use of hydrogen
Lithium

Lithium is a key component of electric vehicle batteries. To meet projected growth in EVs, the world will need a lot more lithium. ExxonMobil plans to become of leading supplier of lithium, using a modern process that has significantly less environmental impact than traditional mining.

Lower emission fuels

Lower emission fuels (LEF) made from renewable sources - like vegetable oils and agricultural waste - can reduce emissions from trucks and other forms of commercial transportation. We are leveraging our expertise in developing traditional transportation fuels to create lower emission biofuels alternatives for our customers, whether they travel by land, sea or air.

Learn more about how LEF is used in the transportation sector

Enabling low-carbon ammonia: our landmark agreement with CF Industries

CF Industries will eliminate up to 2 million metric tons per year of its CO₂ emissions by utilizing ExxonMobil’s CCS services in Louisiana. That’s equivalent to replacing approximately 700,000 gasoline-powered cars with electric vehicles.

Let’s keep economies humming with fewer emissions

Most of the world’s CO₂emissions comes from the industrial, power, and commercial transportation sectors that support modern life and economic growth. From steelmaking to shipping, ExxonMobil is scaling up solutions that can help these industries – including our own – reduce emissions while still meeting demand for their products and services. These solutions include hydrogen, carbon capture and storage, and advanced biofuels.

Steel

Iron and steel account for ~8% of global direct CO₂ emissions, partly due to the use of coal in blast furnaces.

Carbon capture could reduce CO₂ emissions from steelmaking by more than 70%, by capturing the CO₂ and storing it safely underground.
Hydrogen could reduce CO₂ emissions from steelmaking by up to 80% compared to steel production from blast furnace route.²
Natural gas is another low-carbon option for steel, as it emits up to 60% less CO₂ than coal.³

Power generation

Power generation accounts for ~40% of global energy-related CO₂ emissions – the largest of any sector. Wind and solar is playing a big role, but achieving net zero in the power sector will require even more solutions to manage the intermittent nature of these renewable sources.

Natural gas emits up to 60% less CO₂ than coal when used to make power
Carbon capture can help gas-powered facilities cut emissions even further
Hydrogen is emerging as a potential low-carbon fuel option for power

Transportation

Advanced biofuels can reduce transportation emissions without requiring changes to engines or fueling infrastructure.
Hydrogen-based fuels, including ammonia, are emerging as an emissions solution for both road and marine transportation.
Products that improve efficiency also can reduce emissions. These include high-quality fuels, lightweight plastics, and high-performance lubes and greases.

Cement

The cement industry accounts for ~7% of global direct CO₂ emissions , due to the use of coal and to the CO₂ naturally released during the calcination process.

Carbon capture can prevent CO₂ released during calcination from reaching the atmosphere.
Hydrogen can provide required heat levels while emitting no CO₂ at its point of use
Natural gas is another option, emitting up to 60% less CO₂ than coal.

Other industries

Modern life is supported by other energy-intensive industries that make materials like fuel, fertilizer, chemicals, aluminum and glass.

Carbon capture lets these industries continue using their fuel of choice while eliminating >90% of CO₂ emissions.
Hydrogen provides the heat and energy they need but emits only water at point of use.
Another option is natural gas, which emits up to 60% less CO₂ than coal.
