    Leveraging ExxonMobil’s global expertise

    Imperial is leveraging ExxonMobil’s global team that’s leading now in the low carbon solutions space with real-world projects moving into execution, and a pipeline of future opportunities. 

    Tailored solutions for hard-to-abate sectors

    • Manufacturing

      The manufacturing sector can be energy-intensive. We provide a range of solutions, such as carbon capture and storage or fuel switching, to help industrial customers maintain their operations while reducing their emissions.

    • Transportation

      We have a long history of providing reliable fuels to commercial transportation customers. We are building upon that expertise as part of Low Carbon Solutions – exploring new products that can help reduce emissions like biodiesel, hydrogen and lithium.

    • Power

      Addressing emissions in the power generation sector demands a multifaceted approach that meets current operational needs while anticipating future energy delivery methods. We can assist you in deploying large-scale solutions that ensure uninterrupted service for your consumers.

      Low carbon pursuits

      Strathcona renewable diesel

      Imperial is constructing a renewable diesel facility at its Strathcona refinery near Edmonton. Once complete, the facility will produce approximately 20,000 barrels per day of renewable diesel from locally sourced and grown feedstocks.

      Pathways Alliance

      Imperial is a founding member of the Pathways Alliance, which is proposing to build a carbon capture and storage network in Alberta. The project would see CO2 captured from approximately 20 oil sands facilities and transported nearly 400 kilometres by pipeline to the Cold Lake area, where it would be stored underground in a joint carbon storage hub.

      Lithium

      The surge in lithium demand, primarily fueled by the rise of electric vehicles, presents a challenge for chemical producers, auto manufacturers, and battery makers. Imperial boasts a rich history of innovation in the automotive sector. We established Canada’s first service station and have developed advanced fuel formulations and lubricants that reliably serve our customers, even during Canada’s harsh winters.
