ExxonMobil has signed agreements with Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) locations in Madras and Bombay to expand its research collaboration portfolio. This collaboration is part of ExxonMobil's plans to progress with innovative, lower-emissions research programmes, having already formed partnerships with more than 80 universities, five energy centres and a number of private sector companies. In support of these plans, ExxonMobil has spent $10 billion since 2000 on developing and deploying lower-emissions energy solutions. These agreements will give a better understanding of how to progress and apply technologies in India, and develop breakthrough lower-emissions solutions that can make a difference globally.
