Outrage + Optimism: The Climate Podcast11 Maalis 2021

92. Vicki Hollub Thinks Oil Has a (Low Carbon) Future

This week we get into Republicans and climate change, faith and climate change, and some exciting news in climate philanthropy!

And our guest for this episode is President & CEO of Occidental Petroleum, Vicki Hollub. Not only is she the first and currently only female CEO of a major oil and gas company, but Occidental - or Oxy as the company is fondly known - is the first US oil and gas major to announce their strategy to reach Net Zero across emissions scopes 1,2 and 3.

We explore with Vicki the process of capturing carbon for enhanced oil recovery and why this has translated into plans to build the largest Direct Air Capture facility in the world, how they see their new DAC business venture beyond Oxy’s own fields, a vision of the energy future with oil and how they think they will contribute to a Net Zero carbon world.

But with the complicated history between oil and gas majors and the public, will the public trust needed to ensure Oxy’s success be rebuilt in time?

And stick around later in the show for a musical performance from Alex Serra!
