Description
The development of shared CO2 pipelines in the Houston Ship Channel region.
The project involves 14 companies operating emissions-intensive businesses in the Houston region.
Companies such as Air Liquide, BASF and Shell have agreed to participate in the project, which is led by ExxonMobil.
The use of shared infrastructure (pipelines and offshore storage wells in the Gulf of Mexico) will greatly improve the economics of CO2 transport and storage in the region.
