Advancing new technologies for lower-emission fuels
Welcome aboard
Creating new fuels to help cut maritime emissions
Marine fuel used in the global shipment of goods is undergoing a tremendous change. In helping to facilitate that change, ExxonMobil has engineered breakthrough lower-emission fuels like the EMF.5 that are helping meet the International Marine Organization’s environmental standards. Longer term, we're formulating new solutions to help put the industry on a path to cut emissions from port to port now and in the future. Learn more about what we're doing to advance lower-emission marine fuels.
We are developing the lower-emission solutions that will help our customers meet the International Maritime Organization’s 2050 emissions targets.
Helping to cut greenhouse gas emissions in shipping
ExxonMobil completed sea trials of its first marine biofuel oil, which, compared to conventional marine fuels, could lower CO2 emissions by as much 40%.*
*Benefit compared to conventional petroleum-based VLSFO, calculated on an energy basis. Well-to-wake CO2 emissions reduction calculated using Directive 2009/30/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council Annex IV C. 1 and MEPC 66/21 Annex 5”

Key takeaways:
- To meet the EU’s net zero 2050 ambitions, industry investments will need to increase significantly.
- ExxonMobil plans to spend $20 billion globally on lower-emission investments from 2022 through 2027, but unless policies change, it will be difficult to spend part of those funds in Europe.
- Policy plays a key role in making Europe attractive for the projects and technologies needed to help advance the energy transition.

Let's deliver reduced transportation emissions
Key takeaways:
- A diverse mix of technologies is vital to meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement.
- We need policy that encourages investments in all technologies to reduce emissions.
- Lower-emission fuels offer the potential for customers who cannot or do not want to purchase an EV to still play their part in reducing GHG emissions.
Knock on wood: turning biomass into fuel
- The energy transition will require multiple solutions and collaborations.
- ExxonMobil and the National Renewable Energy lab are testing the conversion of wood waste to bio-oil.
- This oil has the potential to be upgraded into a biofuel for the vehicles we drive today.
