CFCPILOT4CCS

ExxonMobil, in partnership with FuelCell Energy, has begun construction of a carbonate fuel cell–based carbon capture pilot at its Rotterdam manufacturing site—the first deployment of this technology at an operational industrial facility. The system is designed to capture over 90% of CO₂ emissions from natural gas exhaust while simultaneously generating low‑carbon power, heat, and hydrogen, with captured CO₂ destined for permanent storage under the North Sea.
