Unleashing Innovation To Meet our Energy and Environmental Needs | ExxonMobil Page 3 of 12
From its first days, our industry has pioneered technologies that have
unlocked new supplies of energy - energy that has brought advancement
and opportunity to billions of people.
Even now, in the midst of markets undergoing far-reaching
transformation and change, we continue to invest and innovate - not just
to expand supplies of energy for developed economies, but for the
billions of people who still live in "energy poverty" around the world,
The story of our industry is a story of innovation and cooperation - across
companies, cultures, and continents.
And these hallmarks of our work together will also be the key to meeting
our shared aspirations to further expand supplies, increase energy
efficiency, and protect the environment.
This meeting of Oil & Money takes place just two months before the
United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris.
At this time our industry is rightly engaged in discussions with the public
and policymakers to identify policies that would best position society to
reduce emissions through new efficiencies and new technologies.
This morning, I will discuss the elements and principles that should guide
our broader public discourse about energy: first, why we must recognize
the role of investment and innovation in helping unlock new supplies of
energy; second, how our industry innovations are already helping bring
about new efficiencies and environmental benefits; and, finally, I will
discuss the policy actions we can take now to enable innovation and
cooperation to continue in the decades to come.
