ExxonMobil Pipeline Company’s Post

EMPCo is proud to support STEM initiatives, fueling young minds and providing opportunities for students to learn new skills for the future. By partnering with the Tapia Center at Rice University to bring their STEM CCS summer camp to middle and high school students at Southern University and A&M College- Baton Rouge, we’re creating opportunities to educate future energy and community leaders. https://lnkd.in/e7n6F2cc

North America has some of the largest known carbon dioxide storage capabilities in the world, but we need additional ways to connect these storage sites with the technology that captures the carbon emissions at their source. CO₂ has been transported safely by pipeline in the U.S. for decades. There are currently more than 5,000 miles of CO₂ pipelines operating in the U.S., and some studies suggest we will need 60,000 more miles by 2050. CO₂ pipelines are key to a lower-carbon future, and the safest way to move captured carbon emissions to permanent storage.   https://lnkd.in/gmZJsUUf

Happy Labor Day! Thank you to all our team members for your hard work and commitment to safety.

We’d like to recognize one of our very own, Leavitt Hamilton, an ERST Engineering Tech for MASE. A member of the EMPCo team for the past 16 years, his day-to-day responsibilities include supporting the MASE Baton Rouge maintenance and operations business teams, and assisting in regulatory compliance, training coordination, community outreach, emergency response and more. When he is not at work, Leavitt is an active fisherman who competes in professional events across the Gulf Coast. His dedication and hard work directly translate to the success he’s seen in his fishing circuit. He’ll be competing in the Major League Fishing Toyota Series Championship in November, and we wish him the best of luck!

This summer we partnered with the Tapia Center to integrate STEM CCS curriculum into summer camp programs for middle and high school students across the Gulf Coast. This STEM initiative was introduced in 2024 at Jackson State University, where 60 campers spent a week learning about carbon dioxide and its effective management through hands-on project-based learning, team building and problem solving. https://lnkd.in/g5Sm4hX5

Safety is our top priority. That’s why we partner with the world-renowned Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service - TEEX to provide local and regional emergency first responders with advanced pipeline emergency response training. We've sponsored this training for nearly 1,000 first responders in our communities over the past five years. This program provides classroom instruction and hands-on training, dealing with simulations of the most relevant pipeline and storage tank emergency scenarios – including an industry-first simulated CO₂ pipeline release.

A key to realizing a safe, lower-carbon future will be transporting captured CO₂ emissions (that would have been released into the air) to specially designated storage areas where the CO₂ will be permanently stored deep underground. This will help sustain existing manufacturing jobs, and building the required pipeline network will create new, well-paying construction jobs. At ExxonMobil, we are leveraging our pipeline expertise to keep today's energy products flowing while safely transporting CO₂ and empowering a lower-carbon future. https://lnkd.in/gmZJsUUf

We are excited to announce the 2025 dates for first responders across our operating areas planning to participate in a future HazMat Liquid & CO₂ Pipeline and Industrial Fire Emergencies training – Feb. 21-22; Apr 26-27; Sept 20-21; Nov 8-9. Held at Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service - TEEX in College Station, TX, the training prepares first responders for a variety of emergency situations, including a simulated CO₂ pipeline release. https://lnkd.in/gjhXQ5Z2

It’s almost time for students to return to school, and we encourage everyone to practice safe driving. A few simple tips such as staying vigilant while traveling through school zones and crosswalks, not using your phone while driving, and stopping and yielding for school buses will help keep students and other pedestrians safe. Learn more about how to safely navigate through these areas today.  https://lnkd.in/gtAiqgfC https://lnkd.in/eGU24SCB https://lnkd.in/gwGgVagv
