According to the International Energy Agency (IEA) and Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), CCS is one of the critical technologies required to achieve net-zero emissions and the climate goals outlined in the Paris Agreement.With more than 30 years of experience developing and deploying CCS technologies, ExxonMobil is well positioned as the global leader in CCS.
