HOUSTON — Top Biden administration officials urged faster action to slash greenhouse gas emissions here Monday, but they were surrounded by oil and gas executives who said existing climate goals may not be met on time.

Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm and White House climate adviser John Podesta championed unprecedented government spending on clean energy initiatives, saying they had cleared the way to a lower-emissions future.

Leaders of some of the world’s largest oil and gas companies — including Exxon Mobil and Saudi Aramco — challenged the market’s willingness to adopt “clean” hydrogen and said climate efforts have hit a snag.
