據管道新聞網6月5日消息稱，Nucor公司與埃克森美孚簽署了一項協議，從該公司位于路易斯安那州Convent的直接還原鐵(DRI)工廠捕獲、運輸和儲存碳。埃克森美孚每年將從DRI工廠捕獲80萬噸二氧化碳，并將其儲存在埃克森美孚在路易斯安那州的一家工廠中。

 

Nucor公司董事長、總裁兼首席執行官Leon Topalian表示：“埃克森美孚合作的這個變革性CCS項目是我們脫碳戰略的關鍵組成部分，將成為北美地區碳含量最低的國家之一。我們正在采取多方面的方法來實現脫碳，這種伙伴關系建立在我們之前在無碳鐵初創企業、可再生能源發電和小型模塊化核反應堆技術開發方面的投資基礎上。”

 

該項目預計將于2026年啟動，并支持路易斯安那州到2050年實現二氧化碳凈零排放的目標。

 

埃克森美孚低碳業務總裁Dan Ammann表示：“與Nucor公司的合作是我們履行使命的最新例證，我們正在幫助加速世界實現凈零排放的道路。我們期待著應用我們的技術和專業知識來減少Nucor的排放。”

 

憑借其基于回收的生產方法，Nucor已經是世界上最清潔的鋼鐵制造商之一。

 

與埃克森美孚達成的碳捕獲和儲存協議進一步鞏固了Nucor作為可持續發展領導者的地位，并建立公司能夠生產低碳鋼鐵和鋼鐵產品的創新基礎。

Exxon Mobil Signs Carbon Capture and Storage Deal with Nucor

 

Nucor Corp. has signed an agreement with Exxon Mobil to capture, transport, and store carbon from the company's direct reduced iron (DRI) plant in Convent, Louisiana. Exxon Mobil will capture up to 800,000 metric tons per year of CO2 from the DRI plant and store the CO2 at an Exxon Mobil-owned facility in Louisiana.

 

"This transformative CCS project with Exxon Mobil is a key part of our decarbonization strategy and will result in some of the lowest embodied carbon DRI or HBI in North America," Leon Topalian, chair, president and CEO of Nucor Corp., said. "We are taking a multi-faceted approach to decarbonization, and this partnership builds on previous investments we have made in a carbon-free iron start-up, renewable energy generation, and the development of small modular nuclear reactor technology."

 

The project is expected to start-up in 2026 and supports Louisiana's objective of reaching net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050.

 

"This collaboration with Nucor is the latest example of how we're delivering on our mission to help accelerate the world's path to net zero," Dan Ammann, president of Exxon Mobil Low Carbon, said. "We look forward to applying our technology and expertise to reducing emissions for Nucor."

 

With its recycling-based production method, Nucor is already one of the cleanest steelmakers in the world.

 

This carbon capture and storage agreement with Exxon Mobil furthers Nucor's status as a sustainability leader and builds on the innovation that has enabled the company to produce steel and steel products with low embodied carbon.
