Ask a carbon capture expert: Dr. Prasanna Joshi

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is considered essential to lowering carbon dioxide emissions from industries such as steel, cement, chemicals, and power generation. The vice president for Low Carbon Solutions technologies, Dr. Prasanna Joshi, explains the basics of this proven technology and how ExxonMobil is helping companies implement CCS at scale.

Building trust among Gulf Coast communities as CCS expands

  • The Texas Railroad Commission voted to approve our Rose carbon storage project, marking an important milestone after years of review and engagement.
  • We have spent years engaging with local officials, landowners, first responders, and residents throughout the Gulf Coast, educating and answering questions, listening to feedback, and supporting community priorities.
  • Safety is our highest priority, backed by extensive training, preparedness programs for first responders, and decades of experience capturing, transporting, and storing CO2.

Lower-carbon steel and permanent storage: CCS expands across the Gulf Coast

  • We are now capturing, transporting and storing captured CO₂ from Nucor's direct reduced iron facility in Convent, Louisiana, supporting lower-carbon steel production.
  • Nucor is our third active commercial CCS operation, highlighting CCS as a practical, in-demand solution for reducing industrial emissions.
  • The Rose carbon storage site moves toward operation, reflecting growing industrial demand for dedicated Class VI storage across the Gulf Coast.

Expanding our CCS operations in Louisiana with another project startup

  • We are now transporting and storing captured CO2 from the New Generation Gas Gathering (NG3) project in Gillis, Louisiana.
  • NG3 is our second active commercial carbon capture and storage (CCS) operation in Louisiana.
  • CCS application differentiates Louisiana’s core industries, including LNG, and provides a low-carbon energy solution for data centers and more.

2025: Taking carbon capture and storage from momentum to impact

  • We started up our first commercial CCS operation in 2025 with CF Industries in Louisiana.
  • Our CCS portfolio spans multiple industries, with three projects expected to come online in 2026. 
  • We are targeting a final investment decision on our first Low Carbon Data Center by late this year.
