ExxonMobil partners with FuelCell Energy for CO2 capture pilot plant

ExxonMobil is set to construct a pilot plant at the Botlek site in Rotterdam, employing cutting-edge carbonate fuel cell technology.

These advanced fuel cells not only possess the capability to capture CO2 emissions from industrial sources before their release into the atmosphere but also have the added benefit of generating valuable by-products.

Furthermore, the innovative technology not only generates low-carbon power, heat, and hydrogen as valuable by-products but also efficiently captures CO2 emissions. The captured CO2 will be transported through the Porthos system and stored in depleted gas fields beneath the North Sea seabed.

The primary objective of the pilot plant is to gather comprehensive data on the performance and feasibility of the carbonate fuel cell (CFC) technology, a collaborative development with FuelCell Energy. Its modular design positions it as a potentially viable solution for widespread implementation.

This marks the inaugural application of carbonate fuel cell technology for CO2 capture in an industrial setting. The pilot project is strategically designed to identify and address potential technical challenges that may arise in a commercial environment, providing valuable insights into the installation and operational costs associated with a CFC plant for CO2 capture.
