Exxon Mobil Starts Commercial CCS Service in Louisiana as BofA Lifts Price Target

The launch underscores Exxon's push to build a Gulf Coast carbon network.

Overview

  • Exxon said Jan. 26 that commercial operations began for its carbon capture project with CF Industries in Louisiana, designed to transport and store up to 2 million tons of CO2 per year from the Donaldsonville complex.
  • The company reports agreements to take up to a combined 2 million tons per year of CO2 from planned AtmosClear and Lake Charles Methanol II facilities and is developing storage hubs in Texas and Louisiana.
  • Exxon expects three carbon capture projects to enter service in 2026 and says it is advancing its first low‑carbon data center with a final investment decision expected by year‑end 2026.
  • Bank of America raised its Exxon price target to $135 with a Neutral rating, saying the valuation gap favoring U.S. integrated oil majors remains overdone and noting preferences for TotalEnergies and Chevron over Exxon and Shell.
  • Reuters reported BYD signed a long‑term strategic memorandum of understanding with Exxon to expand cooperation in hybrid vehicle technology, including customized R&D and potential collaboration in new materials.
