AtmosClear Partners with ExxonMobil for Efficient CO₂ Management at Baton Rouge

AtmosClear Partners with ExxonMobil for CO₂ Management

In a groundbreaking development in the realm of carbon capture, AtmosClear BR, LLC has selected ExxonMobil as its partner for CO₂ transportation and storage services. This collaboration is aimed at enhancing the efficiency of AtmosClear's carbon removal project, located at the Port of Greater Baton Rouge in Louisiana.

The Project Overview

AtmosClear's project is set to leverage ExxonMobil's cutting-edge Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) system, with capabilities to transport and permanently store an impressive 680,000 metric tons of biogenic CO₂ each year. This CO₂ will be sourced from AtmosClear's biomass energy facility, which incorporates carbon capture technology to ensure cleaner energy production. The innovative facility uniquely utilizes sustainable materials like sugarcane bagasse, furthering its commitment to reducing carbon footprints while generating renewable energy.

Benefits of the Partnership

The selection of ExxonMobil stems from its unparalleled existing infrastructure, including Class VI wells, pipelines, and advanced monitoring systems. These resources enable AtmosClear to handle CO₂ transportation and storage more securely and cost-effectively. This partnership is especially significant given the project's promise to generate Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) credits for major clients, including tech giant Microsoft. Dan Shapiro, Co-Founder and CEO of Fidelis, made it clear that this collaboration marks a vital step toward achieving large-scale carbon removal and underscores AtmosClear's dedication to environmental responsibility.

Impact on the Local Economy

The partnership is projected to create significant job opportunities and stimulate investment in the local communities surrounding Baton Rouge. Barry Engle, President of ExxonMobil Low Carbon Solutions, expressed pride in being part of this transformative project, emphasizing the potential for bolstering America’s energy future right where energy meets opportunity.

Environmental Goals and Future Projections

As the urgency to tackle climate change accelerates, partnerships like this one are essential in promoting sustainable energy solutions. The utilization of advanced CCS technologies by ExxonMobil not only aids in reducing emissions but also aligns with the broader goals of environmental sustainability and decarbonization. Both AtmosClear and ExxonMobil are committed to ensuring high safety standards and reliability throughout the operation, making this partnership an exemplary model for future initiatives in carbon management.
