据离岸工程网站2月2日消息 埃克森美孚公司成立了一个部门，将其有助于减少碳排放的技术商业化。在投资者和活动人士的压力不断加大的情况下，这家美国石油巨头希望加大应对气候变化的力度。
埃克森美孚此举正值其与对冲基金Engine No. 1展开代理权争夺之际，后者正试图任命该公司董事会的候选人，并推动其面向更注重可再生能源的未来。
这家石油巨头表示，到2025年，将投资30亿美元用于降低排放的解决方案。届时，该公司计划将油田温室气体排放强度从2016年的水平降低15%-20%。
埃克森美孚首席执行官达伦?伍兹表示：“我们拥有的专业知识有助于将技术推向市场，并产生重大影响。”
埃克森美孚表示，其低碳解决方案最初将侧重于碳捕获，并补充称，该公司正在考虑将二氧化碳储存在美国墨西哥湾沿岸的地下洞穴和枯竭的北海近海气田等其他方案中。
联合国表示，为了将全球变暖的上升幅度控制在不超过1.5摄氏度（2015年《巴黎气候协议》的目标），碳排放技术将是必要的。
埃克森美孚的努力将与西方石油公司旗下的Oxy低碳企业展开竞争，后者正寻求开发有史以来最大的从大气中提取二氧化碳的设施。

Exxon Mobil Corp has created a division to commercialize its technology that helps reduce carbon emissions, as the U.S. oil major looks to step up efforts against climate change amid rising pressure from investors and activists.
The move comes as Exxon looks to burnish its environmental credentials as it engages in a proxy fight with hedge fund Engine No. 1, which is attempting to appoint candidates The oil major said it would invest $3 billion "We have the expertise that can help bring technologies to market and make a meaningful difference," said Exxon Chief Executive Darren Woods.
Exxon said its Low Carbon Solutions would initially focus The United Nations has said carbon removal technology will be necessary to limit the increase in planetary warming to no more than 1.5 degrees Celsius, the goal of the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement.
Exxon's efforts would compete with Occidental Petroleum Corp's Oxy Low Carbon Ventures, which is looking to develop the largest ever facility to pull carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.
