Exxon Mobil Mobil announced new measures aimed at 25% reduction in natural gas flaring and a 15% cut in methane emissions by 2020, compared with 2016, as well as improvements to existing energy efficiencies in refining and chemicals manufacturing. The US-based company said the biggest cuts in flaring will be at its West African operations. Exxon Mobil said it has spent more than $9bn on lower-emission energy technologies since 2000, helping achieve a 10% improvement in energy efficiency across its global refining operations since 2000 and a near-7% cut in greenhouse gas emissions intensity since 2013.
