ExxonMobil today said it will join the Oil and Gas Climate
Initiative (OGCI), a voluntary initiative representing 13 of the
world’s largest oil and gas producers working collaboratively
toward solutions to mitigate the risks of climate change.
The CEO-led organization focuses on developing practical
solutions in areas including carbon capture and storage, methane
emissions reductions and energy and transportation efficiency. As
part of the initiative, ExxonMobil will expand its investment in
research and development of long-term solutions to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions as well as partnerships and
multi-stakeholder initiatives that will pursue lower-emission
technologies.
“It will take the collective efforts of many in the energy
industry and society to develop scalable, affordable solutions that
will be needed to address the risks of climate change,” said Darren
Woods, chairman and chief executive officer of ExxonMobil. “Our
mission is to supply energy for modern life and improve living
standards around the world while minimizing impacts on the
environment. This dual challenge is one of the most important
issues facing society and our company.”
ExxonMobil has invested billions of dollars in researching and
developing lower-emission solutions, including carbon capture and
storage technology, next-generation biofuels, cogeneration and more
efficient manufacturing processes.
Earlier this year, ExxonMobil announced initiatives to lower
greenhouse gas emissions associated with its operations by 2020,
including reducing methane emissions 15 percent and flaring by 25
percent. Since 2000, ExxonMobil has spent more than $9 billion to
develop and deploy higher-efficiency and lower-emission energy
solutions across its operations.
OGCI was established following the 2014 World Economic Forum and
formally launched at the United Nations Climate Summit the same
year. Members include BP, Chevron, CNPC, Eni, Equinor, ExxonMobil,
Occidental Petroleum, Pemex, Petrobras, Repsol, Royal Dutch Shell,
Saudi Aramco and Total.
