ExxonMobil transporting, storing captured CO2 from second operation in Louisiana
ExxonMobil Corp. is now transporting and storing captured CO2 from the New Generation Gas Gathering (NG3) project in Gillis, La.
Natural gas produced from East Texas and Louisiana is gathered through the NG3 gathering system for treatment at the NG3 Gillis plant, where up to 1.2 million metric tons/year (tpy) of CO2 is expected to be removed from the natural gas stream before the product is redelivered to Gulf Coast markets, including LNG plants, ExxonMobil said.
This startup marks the second active commercial carbon capture and storage (CCS) operation for ExxonMobil in Louisiana. In July 2025, the company began transporting and storing CO2 from Illinois-based CF Industries Holdings Inc.’s Donaldsonville Complex, enabling the production of low-carbon ammonia.
The CO2 contracted for the company’s two active projects accounts for up to 3.2 million tpy, about one-third of ExxonMobil’s committed CCS volumes.
The company is currently storing the CO2 from both projects in permanent geologic sites through enhanced oil recovery, with plans to transition to dedicated permanent storage.
