The source item supplied to the Circular Wire desk consists of a single headline — "Can ExxonMobil Turn Carbon Capture Into a Major Growth Market?" attributed to The Globe and Mail — with no article body accessible.

Under this desk's editorial standards, we cannot publish an industry item without verifiable operating figures: tonnage, throughput, plant capacity, commodity or carbon pricing, investment size, permit deadlines, or named filings. None of these are present in the material received.

We do not reconstruct stories from headlines. Doing so would force the desk to introduce claims about ExxonMobil's carbon capture operations — capture volumes at its LaBarge facility, contracted offtake under the Inflation Reduction Act's 45Q credit, or pipeline transport volumes — that no supplied document substantiates. That practice fails basic sourcing discipline.

Editorial action required. The desk requests either the full text of the Globe and Mail piece or an alternative primary source: an ExxonMobil investor filing, an SEC document, or a release from a regulator with jurisdiction over the relevant capture, transport or storage assets. Any of these would carry the named, citable basis our format requires.

Circularity-relevant coverage of carbon capture remains on the assignment list. When sourced material arrives, the story will anchor to the specific facility or jurisdiction, separate operating capacity from announced projects, and flag the regulatory milestone — a Class VI well permit, a state pore-space ruling, or a federal credit determination — that decides what happens next.

Until then, no item runs.
