ExxonMobil
Getting the planet on a path to net zero requires unprecedented innovation and collaboration at immense scale. The ongoing societal effort is critical but must avoid economic hardships and market disruptions that result from energy and product shortages.
Solving this challenge isn't an "either/or" proposition. It's an "and" equation. One that requires an increase in energy supply and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
The world needs scalable solutions deployed globally and at a much lower cost than today. This requires continued technology advances and clear and consistent government policies that catalyze near-term investments.
As we strive to play a leading role in the energy transition, ExxonMobil is pursuing more than $20 billion in lower-emission investments from 2022 through 2027, in addition to the approximately $5 billion Denbury acquisition. About 50% of our lower-emission investments are targeted at reducing emissions from operated assets; the balance going toward reducing the emissions of others.
We're focused on customers in heavy industry, power generation, and commercial transportation - sectors which provide great economic value and generate significant emissions that aren't easy to cut.
That's where our capabilities come in. Solutions like CCS and hydrogen align with our capabilities and have the potential to make a big difference in these hard-to-abate sectors.
At our core, we're a technology company using science and engineering to bring valued solutions to our customers. We do this in a variety of ways using unique advantages in scaling technology and delivering complex, large-scale projects safely, reliably, and at industry-advantaged cost.
For more than 140 years, we have been a leader in innovation, supplying the energy and products people need to live healthy, prosperous lives. We continue this legacy of innovation by doing our part to provide energy security and evolving our operations in ongoing support of a net-zero future.

Hawaiian Electric Industries
Hawaiian Electric Industries (HEI) brings three operating companies under one parent company and a shared common purpose to create a Hawai‘i that is thriving economically, environmentally, culturally and socially. The HEI family of companies provides the energy and financial services that empower much of the economic and community activity of Hawai‘i. HEI’s electric utility, Hawaiian Electric, supplies power to approximately 95% of Hawai‘i’s population and is undertaking an ambitious effort to decarbonize its operations and the broader state economy. Its banking subsidiary, American Savings Bank, is one of Hawai‘i’s largest financial institutions, providing a wide array of banking and other financial services and working to advance economic growth, affordability and financial fitness. HEI also helps advance Hawai‘i’s sustainability goals through investments by its non-regulated subsidiary, Pacific Current.
Hawaiian Electric
Established in 1891, Hawaiian Electric is committed to empowering its customers and communities by providing affordable, reliable, clean and sustainable energy. The company serves 95 percent of Hawaiʻi's 1.4 million residents on Oʻahu, Maui, Hawaiʻi, Lānaʻi and Molokaʻi.
Hawaiʻi has a long history of leading the nation in establishing ambitious climate goals and Hawaiian Electric is at the center of the state’s energy transformation efforts, partnering with stakeholders and community members to help drive a clean energy transition that benefits everyone.
The company is committed to significantly reducing its carbon emissions by adding renewable generation to its stand-alone island grids and retiring oil-fired power plants. By 2045, the utility’s carbon emissions will be net zero.
As Hawaiian Electric leads the community-wide energy transition, working through complex technical issues and social equity considerations, its actions are focused on building a sustainable, resilient Hawaiʻi so that future generations may thrive, together.
