Firms review scalability of global decarbonisation project

ExxonMobil and Global Thermostat have expanded their joint development agreement following 12 months of technical evaluation to determine the feasibility and potential scalability of Global Thermostat's technology that captures carbon dioxide (CO2) directly from the air.   

 

"ExxonMobil's scientists continue to research technology options aimed at reducing emissions at scale, which are key to achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement,“ said Vijay Swarup, Vice- President of research and development for ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Company. 

 

"Our work with Global Thermostat has shown promising signs in the development of direct air capture technologies that could be brought to scale. We look forward to seeing how new materials might accelerate this potential, while also continuing our research that captures CO2 from power generation facilities.“
