Earth Day 2021: Our People and Their Stories

Earth Day presents an opportunity to reflect upon the work of providing energy that is essential to improving lives around the world while managing the risks of climate change.

ExxonMobil researchers, scientists and operators around the world share that same vision. Some of their work involves researching new materials to capture carbon dioxide, finding innovative ways to re-use recyclable plastic material, improving energy efficiency and reducing emissions from the company’s operations .

Here’s a look at some of those people and their stories.

Transcript:

Across the world, ExxonMobil employees work tirelessly to reduce emissions and work towards a low-carbon future. Here are some of those stories and that work

My name is Matt Kapelewski and I’m a materials researcher in Clinton, NJ.

My name is Inge Daems and I work at the European Technology Center in Brussels.

My name is Angela Ang and I work in Singapore.

My name is Carla Periera and I am based in Clinton, NJ.

My name is Cody Hays and I work in the Permian Basin.

My name is Shwetha Ramkumar and I work in Houston, Texas.

I am committed to a lower-carbon future by helping to scale new carbon capture technologies.

by making manufacturing less energy-intensive

through lowering emissions from natural gas production

through energy optimization

with reduced plastic waste

I am committed to a lower-carbon future, with new technologies in drilling and hydrocarbon productions.

In my role, I find new ways to re-use recycled plastic material by working with manufacturers that use ExxonMobil polymers

I test and design breakthrough materials that could provide a lower-emissions future by fundamentally changing how we capture carbon dioxide.

I research how new technologies today can help refineries and chemical plants cut their energy use as well as our carbon dioxide footprint.

It’s work that involves finding new technologies – like aerial surveillance and ground-based sensors.

I identify opportunities to drive energy efficiently in our refining operations.

I apply new technology that can help our upstream operations reduce their carbon dioxide footprint

at the heart of my work is a pledge to my children that I am working to impact their future. That is energizing and motivating.

We may face setbacks along the way, but we are committed to cracking this science.

It’s about spreading the mindset of co-ownership and continuous improvement to challenge existing norms and uncover new ideas.

Delivering the energy we need in our everyday lives is essential to the growth we see around us, but doing so with fewer emissions is very important for a lower-carbon world.

We are committed to our mission to harness advanced technologies that can monitor and track methane so we can curb those emissions

That is what makes us work harder

I’m proud to be part of that work

Every day is Earth Day—let’s share our stories.

V. Swarup’s LinkedIn Earth Day Post Post Copy: I like this Earth Day video because it captures so well the breadth and depth of approaches our scientists, engineers and operators are taking to help reduce carbon emissions and manage the risks of climate change. I often say these efforts at @ExxonMobil are a mosaic of approaches to a complex, multifaceted challenge. We continue to leverage several scientific disciplines to come at the challenge from many different angles. Some solutions will work best in certain parts of the world, others better in different parts. I’m so proud of all this work as a whole. [RESHARE CORP POST OF VIDEO]
