ExxonMobil adds Air Liquide to world’s largest low-carbon hydrogen project

Additionally, Air Liquide will build and operate four large modular air separation units (LMAs) to supply 9000 tpd of oxygen and up to 6500 tpd of nitrogen to the facility. The LMAs will primarily use low-carbon electricity to reduce the project’s carbon footprint.

“Momentum continues to build for the world’s largest low-carbon hydrogen project and the emerging hydrogen market,” said Dan Ammann, President of ExxonMobil Low Carbon Solutions. “This partnership with Air Liquide further strengthens our Baytown project by enabling hydrogen distribution through existing networks and securing key feedstocks.”

ExxonMobil's planned hydrogen production facility will be the world’s largest. It is expected to produce 1 billion ft³/d of low-carbon hydrogen, and more than 1 million tpy of ammonia while capturing more than 98% of the associated CO₂ emissions.

Partnering with Air Liquide, ExxonMobil aims to enable the growth of a low-carbon hydrogen market along the US Gulf Coast to help industrial customers decarbonise their operations.
