ExxonMobil to Transport and Store Carbon Dioxide from Biomass Energy Facility
AtmosClear, a carbon capture project owned by the sustainable energy infrastructure firm Fidelis, has selected ExxonMobil to handle the carbon dioxide (CO2) transportation and storage services for its carbon removal project in the Port of Greater Baton Rouge in Louisiana. The partnership will require ExxonMobil to transport and store 680,000 m.t./year of biogenic CO2 from the biomass energy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) facility, which generates clean energy from biomass combustion. The ability to utilize ExxonMobil’s existing wells and transportation infrastructure will help the project reduce costs and downstream emissions. The reduction in emissions will allow the operating companies to sell carbon dioxide removal (CDR) credits to other companies, including Microsoft, whose involvement represents one of the largest CDR credit purchase agreements in history.
BASF Plans Semiconductor-Grade Sulfuric Acid Facility
Ultra-pure sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is essential for advanced semiconductor manufacturing, but producing semiconductor-grade sulfuric acid requires cutting-edge purification processes and chemically resistant storage and transportation infrastructure. To meet this demand, German chemicals company BASF is developing a new sulfuric acid production facility in Ludwigshafen, Germany. The plant is scheduled to be operational in 2027, around the time that several key European semiconductor manufacturers plan to expand their production capacity. By locating this plant in the heart of the company’s Ludwigshafen integrated chemical production site, BASF aims to strengthen supply chains in Europe’s growing semiconductor manufacturing industry...
