Exxon freezes plans for major hydrogen plant amid weak customer demand
https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/climate-energy/exxon-freezes-plans-major-hydrogen-plant-amid-weak-customer-demand-2025-11-21/Oil major Exxon announced plans in 2022 to build the plant at its refining and chemical complex in Baytown, Texas, with a goal of producing 1 billion cubic feet per day of so-called blue hydrogen, a clean fuel that produces water when burned.
