Carbon capture - Exxon Mobil

ExxonMobil is investing more than $100m in a new technology for separating CO2 from natural gas at the inlet to the process plant QATAR which could help commercialise some applications of carbon capture and storage.

For more than 30 years ,Exxon Mobil engineers and scientists have researched, developed and applied technologies that could play a role in making CCS viable in commercial applications. Their Controlled Freeze Zone technology is a single step process that could more efficiently separate CO2 and other impurities from a natural gas stream.

ExxonMobil is working with partners on a number of CCS related research projects such as improved capture technology; geologic storage and integrity modeling; assessing well sealing integrity and storage capacity of oil and gas reservoirs acquifiers for potential storage use.
