Technip Energies, Turner Industries awarded contract by ExxonMobil for Louisiana CCS project (U.S.)
Technip Energies, in consortium with Turner Industries, has been awarded the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract by ExxonMobil Low Carbon Solutions Onshore Storage LLC. Technip Energies will oversee the engineering and procurement while Turner Industries will be responsible for the construction.
The contract covers ExxonMobil Low Carbon Solutions’ plans for the delivery of a carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) system that could condition, compress, and transport, for eventual storage, up to 800,000 tpy of CO2 from a manufacturing plant located in Convent, Louisiana, and owned by Nucor Corporation, North America’s largest steel producer and recycler.
The Nucor manufacturing site produces direct reduced iron (DRI), a raw material that is mixed with recycled scrap at Nucor steel mills, which make higher grades of steel products, including automobile parts, household appliances, and tools and machinery. The CCUS system is designed to enable the Nucor facility to produce DRI with up to 80% less greenhouse gas emissions than traditional blast furnace iron production.
ExxonMobil selected Technip Energies to perform the front-end engineering design (FEED), and together with Turner Industries worked to solidify the EPC execution approach.
