*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
ExxonMobil presented its vision for the energy transition at its 2021 Investor Day. Deploying technology at scale into carbon-related themes such as CCS is where the company believes it can make a difference. The strategy leans heavily on ExxonMobil’s competitive strengths. But the pivot into low-carbon opportunities is still in its infancy. The crisis of 2020 has undoubtedly concentrated minds on the challenges that lie ahead. The big question is how aggressively ExxonMobil will use an upcycle to reposition for a low-carbon future?
