The plan, they said, centers on simplyaim changing how the company extracts planet-heating fossil fuels—not reducing the climate impact of the greenhouse gases themselves.
The net-zero plan covers only the company's"Scope 1" and"Scope 2" emissions, explained experts including Fossil Free Media director Jamie Henn and analyst Ketan Joshi. Those emissions come from the act of extracting, refining, and shipping the oil and gas Exxon sends all over the world. Left out of the strategy is what Exxon plans to do to reduce the impact of 80% of the carbon emissions it is responsible for: Its"Scope 3" emissions, which come from the burning of the oil and gas that the company brings to market.
Exxon's net-zero plan should be treated by the public"as a tobacco company promising all their staff will quit smoking and then expecting to be congratulated for having solved the lung cancer problem," said Joshi. "I don't give a damn if Exxon is changing the lightbulbs at their office: It's the millions of barrels of oil they're producing that are the problem,"Under the proposal, announced by Exxon chairman and CEO Darren Woods, the company plans to use"lower-emissions fuel" in its oil and gas extraction projects.
