ExxonMobil builds world’s largest carbon capture network, facing $75B Louisiana hurdle

ExxonMobil is investing billions to construct the world's largest carbon capture and storage (CCS) network along the U.S. Gulf Coast.

The company is connecting industrial emitters to a 900-mile pipeline network spanning Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. This infrastructure transports carbon dioxide for underground storage.

Political and local opposition in Louisiana now challenges these low-carbon ambitions. A state-imposed moratorium on new CCS permits threatens over $75 billion in proposed industrial investments.
