ExxonMobil to provide Carbon Capture and Storage for AtmosClear BR’s Louisiana Project
BATON ROUGE, Louisiana – September 22, 2025 – AtmosClear BR, LLC has contracted ExxonMobil to provide comprehensive carbon dioxide (CO2) transportation and storage services for its innovative carbon removal project located at the Port of Greater Baton Rouge in Louisiana. This collaboration leverages ExxonMobil’s established infrastructure and expertise to facilitate the permanent storage of biogenic CO2 captured from AtmosClear’s biomass energy with carbon capture (BECCS) facility.
The agreement outlines the transportation and permanent storage of up to 680,000 metric tons per annum of biogenic CO2, with potential for expansion. AtmosClear’s BECCS facility will generate clean energy from biomass while simultaneously capturing CO2 emissions, contributing to a reduction in atmospheric carbon. ExxonMobil’s integrated system, encompassing Class VI wells, existing pipelines, and advanced monitoring technologies, will ensure the efficient, secure, and cost-effective management of these carbon streams. The project will generate Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) credits destined for customers like Microsoft.
“We are excited to announce our carbon transport and storage agreement with ExxonMobil, a collaboration that enables large-scale carbon removal for AtmosClear,” stated Dan Shapiro, Co-Founder and CEO of Fidelis. “ExxonMobil was selected for its extensive existing infrastructure, world-class safety culture, and proven operational excellence, making them the clear choice for AtmosClear’s facility. This agreement is a critical step toward delivering CDR credits to Microsoft under the Carbon Removal unit Purchase Agreement we signed in March,one of the largest Carbon Dioxide Removal purchase agreements in history to date. By leveraging ExxonMobil’s unmatched expertise and mature CCS systems, we can deliver high-integrity carbon removals with strong economic advantages through scalable, cost-efficient operations while ensuring the highest standards of safety and reliability.”
Barry Engle, President of ExxonMobil Low carbon Solutions, emphasized the project’s broader impact, stating, “We’re proud to be the selected transportation and storage provider for this exciting project – which is set to create jobs, drive investment in local communities, and strengthen America’s energy future. Louisiana is where energy meets opportunity. With this agreement, we’ve now signed five offtake contracts with Louisiana customers and are continuing to scale our one-of-a-kind CCS system, the largest in the world.”
