ExxonMobil will deploy technology from Honeywell and Topsoe for its low-carbon production facility in Baytown, Texas.
Honeywell UOP’s carbon capture technology — the CO2 Fractionation and Hydrogen Purification System — will be integrated into the design of ExxonMobil’s low-carbon hydrogen production facility and enable it to capture more than 98 of associated CO2 emissions, according to a press release. The captured CO2 is expected to be sequestered and permanently stored by ExxonMobil.
Topsoe will deliver its hydrogen SynCOR™ technology to the plant, which, as technology integrator, guarantees the carbon intensity of the integrated low carbon facility including, hydrogen production and carbon capture, according to a separate press release.
SynCOR™ is Topsoe’s proprietary technology based on advanced autothermal reforming principles.
ExxonMobil’s Baytown low-carbon hydrogen, ammonia and carbon capture facility is expected to produce around one billion cubic feet of low-carbon hydrogen per day, making this the largest low-carbon hydrogen project in the world at planned startup in 2027-2028. ExxonMobil’s Baytown integrated complex is home to the largest olefins plant in the United States. The site is located on approximately 3,400 acres along the Houston Ship Channel.
