ExxonMobil and MHI to cooperate on CCS

Two companies to develop large-scale infrastructure based on MHI’s liquid amine CCS technology

US oil major ExxonMobil and Japanese engineering company Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) have agreed to work together on the deployment of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology for large industrial emitters. The two firms will jointly develop CCS infrastructure based on liquid amine technology developed by MHI and Japanese utility Kansai Electric Power. This is the only technology of its type to be commercially demonstrated at a scale of greater than 1mn t/yr, ExxonMobil says. “Adding Mitsubishi Heavy Industries’ leading carbon-capture technology to ExxonMobil’s transportation and storage capabilities enables this compelling offering” Ammann, ExxonMobil Low Carbon Solutions “
