We’ll remove up to 500,000 metric tons of CO2 annually from CF Industries’ site in Yazoo City.
It’s the latest sign of our leadership in CCS, a proven emissions solution.
Our total CCS customer commitments are now up to 5.5 MTA.
ExxonMobil has signed its fourth carbon capture and storage (CCS) agreement with a major industrial customer, the latest sign of our growing leadership in this key emissions-reduction technology

We’ll transport and permanently store up to 500,000 metric tons per year (MTA) of captured CO2 from CF Industries’ complex in Yazoo City, Mississippi, which makes nitrogen products for agricultural fertilizer and other essential products. The project will enable CF Industries to reduce the site’s CO2 emissions by up to about 50 percent. Startup is planned for 2028.
With this agreement, the total CO2 ExxonMobil has agreed to store for customers is up to 5.5 million MTA. That’s equivalent to replacing about 2 million gasoline-powered cars with electric vehicles, which is more than the total EVs sold in the United States in 2023. No other company has announced CCS commitments of this magnitude.
Dan Ammann, president of ExxonMobil Low Carbon Solutions, said, “We’re serious about expanding carbon capture – a safe, proven solution for hard-to-decarbonize industries. Our agreement with CF Industries is the latest example of how we can help industrial customers make significant progress, quickly and economically.”
It’s ExxonMobil's second CCS project with Illinois-based CF Industries, and the first in Mississippi. As former governor Haley Barbour said in a recent op-ed, carbon capture can help support the state’s economic growth, in addition to reducing emissions.
ExxonMobil has more than 30 years’ experience in carbon capture. We own and operate the largest CO2 pipeline network in the country. The first site to connect into that network will be CF Industries’ site in Donaldsonville, Louisiana. Startup remains on track for 2025.
Tony Will, president and CEO of CF Industries, said, “We’ve set ambitious goals to reduce our emissions from our operations, and CCS will play a key role in getting us there. We are really pleased to expand our relationship with ExxonMobil for our second CCS project together as their leading expertise helps accelerate our decarbonization journey.”
CCS is a powerful, versatile solution to reduce CO2 emissions, particularly for heavy industries, which account for more than a quarter of the world’s energy-related CO2 emissions.
CCS also is safe, with both storage sites and pipelines well-regulated and designed to minimize risk. We recently expanded the emergency pipeline safety training course we offer for local first responders to include CO2 pipelines. Those trained at our most recent course included first responders from Yazoo City.
