Realizing the benefits
of innovation
Continuous innovation and investment
ExxonMobil’s research and development efforts
support a program of continuous improvement in
catalyst performance and process optimization.
Innovation begins at ExxonMobil’s Corporate
Strategic Research Center, where new catalyst active
materials are discovered, developed and tested.
ExxonMobil was one of the first companies to
pioneer the use of high throughput experimentation
to accelerate catalyst development. The extensive
experience built by ExxonMobil researchers over
many years has resulted in an efficient and an
effective innovation process.
Field-tested, insight-driven
ExxonMobil occupies a unique position as both a
developer of catalyst technology and a commercial
user. Catalyst materials and products developed
within ExxonMobil research laboratories are field-
tested at the company’s refining and chemical
production facilities. Insights gained inside
ExxonMobil plants regarding catalyst use and
performance enable further optimization of the
products and processes. ExxonMobil can then bring
these catalysts to their customers.
ExxonMobil invests more than $1 billion
annually into research and development.
Innovation begins at ExxonMobil’s
Corporate Strategic Research Center,
where new catalysts are discovered and
their development accelerated with high-
throughput testing.
Successful customer relationships
ExxonMobil highly values relationships with
customers. ExxonMobil routinely meets with
customers throughout the catalyst lifecycle to
identify opportunities to improve operation and
to discuss future expansions and catalyst supply
needs, including the latest catalyst products.
Customers can benefit from the insights that have
been developed from many years of global technical
experiences, as customized to meet their specific
needs. In addition, ExxonMobil and its technology
licensing partners can provide combined technical
and commercial solutions that optimize both the
catalyst selection and process operation. These
efforts can help to assist in meeting a customers’
production and efficiency goals, such as process
modification, expansions and new production
facilities.
Worldwide logistics
For many years, ExxonMobil has coordinated with
its customers to reliably supply catalyst all over
the world. Using a responsive global supply chain,
ExxonMobil continues to achieve operational
excellence. Along with our technology licensing
partners, we can provide catalyst, engineering and
logistics support from the initial order through the
life of the catalyst.
