As a company that helps meet the world’s energy needs while interacting with individual communities all over the world, ExxonMobil strives to support economic growth and progress while being a good corporate...
ExxonMobil has joined the Oil and Gas Climate Initiative – another step in our ongoing commitment to finding solutions that limit environmental impacts, while continuing to provide the energy the world needs.
Natural gas is poised to become an even more predominant fuel in the 21st century because the global economy is expanding and energy is a key driver in this economic ...
The world faces a dual energy challenge: how to supply growing energy needs around the globe, while at the same time, addressing the risks of climate change.
Projecting global energy trends almost 25 years into the future is a study of human potential: how it’s cultivated, or limited, by the resources available. There is no crystal ball that can predict breakthrough...
On paper, the idea is brilliant: Capture carbon dioxide molecules from a power plant’s emissions before they reach the atmosphere, while also generating power. The concept, formally known as...
Extracting carbon dioxide molecules from a stream of exhaust before the CO2 enters the atmosphere is easier said than done… and it’s not even that easily said.
Big technology breakthroughs often occur in areas that most of us don’t think about on a daily basis. Take natural gas, for example. The use of natural gas is projected to increase in the coming decades more than...
Scientists from Synthetic Genomics, Inc. (SGI) and ExxonMobil have developed a strain of algae able to convert carbon into a record amount of energy-rich fat, which can then be processed into biodiesel.
Diesel fuel refined from algae oils could transform how we power everything from automobiles to jet planes. The stuff is not only energy-rich—it also emits significantly fewer greenhouse gases than most...
Turning algae into a ubiquitous, affordable and low-emission transportation fuel remains an ambitious goal for now. However, Synthetic Genomics Inc. (SGI), the La Jolla, California, synthetic biology startup, and...
