Critical technology
The International Energy Agency calls carbon capture and storage one of the critical technologies required to achieve net-zero emissions and the climate goals outlined in the Paris Agreement.Carbon capture and storage
Providing industry solutions needed to help reduce emissions during the energy transition
We’re a global leader in carbon capture and storage
What is carbon capture and storage (CCS)? It’s capturing CO2 that otherwise would be released into the atmosphere, and injecting it into geologic formations deep underground for safe, secure and permanent storage. It’s a readily available technology that can significantly reduce emissions from sectors like refining, chemicals, cement, steel and power generation.
ExxonMobil is a global leader in CCS – a position further enhanced by our acquisition of Denbury Inc.

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 1,500 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 year
We’re also working to advance CCS around the world.
In the field
"With our demonstrated leadership in carbon capture and emissions reduction technologies, ExxonMobil is committed to meeting the demand for affordable energy while reducing emissions and managing the risks of climate change."
