ExxonMobil (XOM) CEO Urges Collaboration for Net-Zero Success
Read MoreHide Full Article
Exxon Mobil Corporation’s (XOM - Free Report) CEO Darren Woods cautioned against casting Big Oil as "villains" in the fight against climate change, asserting that such characterization hinders the global pursuit of net-zero emissions.
Speaking at the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation CEO Summit in San Francisco, Woods argued that prevailing climate change solutions have been excessively fixated on limiting the supply of fossil fuels, deeming it a "recipe for human hardship and a poorer world." Instead, he called for a collaborative effort, with governments supporting the industry's capacity for change through taxpayer-backed initiatives for emissions-reducing technologies like carbon capture.
During his address, Woods reaffirmed the company's commitment to maintaining oil and gas production while simultaneously investing in low-carbon technologies that complement fossil fuels. According to him, this approach represents the most effective way to contribute positively to the environment.However, he highlighted the need for government support to facilitate the transition.
Woods urged governments to provide taxpayer assistance for emissions-reducing technologies such as carbon capture and hydrogen. He argued that this support is essential until market forces can naturally drive the adoption of these technologies.
Woods concluded his speech by challenging the "ExxonKnew" slogan often used by environmentalists to highlight the company's historical stance on climate change. He asserted that ExxonMobil possesses the necessary tools, skills, size and resources to significantly reduce emissions and contribute to the global effort against climate change.
ExxonMobil is set to host its 2023 Corporate Plan Update on Dec 6. The update will include presentations from CEO Darren Woods, CFO Kathy Mikells and other key figures within the company.
