Technip Energies has been awarded the engineering, procurement, and construction contract by ExxonMobil Low Carbon Solutions Onshore Storage LLC for a carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) system in Convent, Louisiana. The system will condition, compress, and transport up to 800,000 metric tons per year of CO2 from a manufacturing plant owned by Nucor Corp. The Nucor 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.
Technip Energies will perform the front-end engineering design. Turner Industries will be responsible for the construction.
