The ‘aha’ moment: Meha Shah
In any scientific endeavor, coming up with the idea is just the first step in the journey to a breakthrough. The finish line of innovation requires the curiosity, patience and resolve to keep working through unexpected setbacks and technical challenges.

This is especially true as ExxonMobil researchers work together on researching and developing the next generation of lower-emission transportation fuels. Reducing emissions from ships and planes and on the roads is essential to meeting climate goals, as the transportation sector accounts for nearly one-quarter of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions.
In this series, we spoke with some of ExxonMobil’s top scientists to find out what they’ve learned, what surprised them, and how they define success in the long game of scientific inquiry.
For as long as she can remember, Meha Shah knew she wanted to be a chemist and develop breakthrough medicine that would help people live better lives. But after completing a PhD in organic chemistry and a postdoctoral fellowship in pharmacology, she decided she wanted to broaden her horizons.Today, Meha is a researcher at ExxonMobil helping create the next generation of bio-lubricants. While much of the work is in its infancy, it has the potential to lower emissionsܫ associated with producing the lubricants that help keep engines running smoothly.
🧸 ExxonMobil is working on a number of projects aimed at lowering emissions from transportation. The sector accounts for in the U.S. Alongside lubricants, the company is also advancing research on several lower-emission fuels, such as renewable diesel. Hear more about how Meha’s values continue to drive her work and how she’s thinking about next-generation technology.Explore more
The future of lower emission transportation fuels
For 30 years, Russ Green has worked primarily in ExxonMobil’s fuels and lubricants businesses. Today Russ is focused on developing lower-emission fuels for the highest emitting industries. Energy Factor recently spoke with Russ about the future of transportation and innovations he’s working on to help lower emissions.Lower-emission transportation Perspectiveꦑ • May 13, 2022
Renewable diesel for our changing world
Diesel plays a critical role in enabling modern life. This high-energy fuel packs the power needed for trucking, aviation and maritime transportation – which help move people around the world, and goods from manufacturing sites to our doorsteps.Lower-emission transportation Perspective🐠 • April 7, 2022
