For more than 125 years, ExxonMobil has been a leader in the evolution of energy and energy technology.
This evolution of energy and technology is not new. Our energy landscape has transformed repeatedly
over time, as new technologies change not just how consumers use energy, but also the types of energy
they use. It is important to remember, however, that these shifts happen gradually.
