Record Notes

ExxonMobil announced a U.S. data-center power generation initiative using natural gas generation paired with carbon capture and storage. ExxonMobil's opened official page says the company is in FEED for a facility that would generate more than 1.5 GW of electricity for a data center, use carbon capture to remove more than 90 percent of CO2 emissions, and operate detached from the existing electric grid. Data Center Dynamics separately reports that ExxonMobil had secured land and was in talks with hyperscalers, but the customer and location were not publicly disclosed.

ADCI keeps 1,500 MW as a lower-bound selected value for a detached power-supply initiative, not as disclosed IT load or a specific customer campus. The previous Houston/Southern U.S. map point is removed because the opened sources support only a U.S. initiative with undisclosed locations.
