our actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions

At ExxonMobil, we are seeking ways to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from our own operations as well as from energy use by consumers. We are working on technologies with the potential for near-term impact on emissions, while at the same time looking for breakthrough technologies for the future. To make a meaningful contribution to future GHG reductions, new technologies must be cost-effective and have the potential to be deployed on a large scale. Our research on both near-term and future technologies is conducted by our own research staff, in partnership with academic and private groups, and through programs such as the Global Climate and Energy Project at Stanford University.

In 2007, greenhouse gas emissions from our equity operations were 141 million metric tons.

We actively support initiatives to reduce consumer emissions from the use of our products in the transportation sector.
