protecting the environment
全球环境管理是雪佛龙如何做生意的关键要素。这是雪佛龙的方式它支持我们所有的运营。
Looking after the environment is critical to our success in a world where energy resources must be developed in a safe and environmentally responsible way. We have four environmental principles that define our commitment to operating in an environmentally responsible manner. We commit to:
- Including environmental considerations in decision making
- 尽量减少我们的环境足迹
- 负责任地操作
- 管家我们的网站
我们还与政府，社区，监管机构和其他行业成员密切合作，寻求符合最高标准的环境管理的可见解决方案。在每个项目的每个阶段，我们人民的安全和环境保护仍然是我们的重点。
integrating biodiversity into operational management
生物多样性是指地球上的各种生活，包括生态系统，物种和基因，以及支持它们的生态过程。
Globally, Chevron recognises the importance of biodiversity conservation and supports it through our values, performance, communication and engagement.
AtGorgon.和惠斯通we implement rigorous environmental impact assessment and management processes through both the Western Australian State Government and the Australian Federal Government.
On巴罗群岛- A级自然保护区和Gorgon项目的所在地 - 我们系统地实施环境绩效标准，以减少排放和排放，管理浪费和保护自然资源。
对我们的成功至关重要，一直是劳动力教育和文化，康复和严格的检疫管理体系，以防止非土着物种到达Barrow。

our rigorous quarantine management system
Part of Chevron’s commitment to protect Barrow Island’s unique environment includes a comprehensive quarantine regime which has been recognised locally and globally as “best practice”. Our key environmental objective is to protect the conservation values and maintain the biodiversity of Barrow Island and its surrounding waters.
检疫管理可防止引入可能在岛上建立的非本土的动物和植物，预测本地物种或与他们竞争食物，水和庇护所。
巴罗岛(QM检疫管理系统S) is the world's largest non-government quarantine initiative. It provides an unprecedented level of quarantine intervention across all operations and sets new benchmarks for environmental protection.
QMS也被澳大利亚世界环境奖，澳大利亚石油生产和勘探协会（APPEA），合作研究中心协会（CRC）和WA工程师协会的联合国（联合国）协会认可。
与更广泛的科学界，专业的环境顾问和相关政府监管机构一起，我们逐步改进了我们的战略，并建立了我们开发世界级检疫管理系统的经验。
Our quarantine program focuses on preventing the introduction of these species through pre-border screening of cargo and passengers prior to arrival on Barrow. This is complemented by on-island inspection and surveillance activities as well as a control and eradication capability.

chevron’s guiding principles
雪佛龙的担忧政府和股票public about climate change risks and recognises that the use of fossil fuels to meet the world’s energy needs is a contributor to rising greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the earth’s atmosphere. We believe that taking prudent, practical and cost effective action to address climate change risks is the right thing to do. Mitigation of GHG emissions, adaptation to climate change and continuation of scientific and technological research should all be considered.
温室气体来自各种来源 - 发电，运输，农业，土地利用，制造和其他活动。化石燃料 - 煤炭，石油和天然气 - 生产和消费期间的二氧化碳。化石燃料也是全球经济的主要能源来源，以及世界上许多地方的生活质量上升的贡献者。根据当前的人口和经济增长的预测，世界对未来25年的能源需求将大幅增加。大部分能量将由化石燃料提供，即使较低碳替代品继续出现。
Reducing GHG emissions in the face of rising energy demand presents a formidable challenge to our global society. As we work to address climate change risks, we must create solutions that achieve environmental objectives without undermining growth of the global economy and our aspirations for a better quality of life for all. Globally, Chevron is committed to greenhouse gas management.

increasing the global supply of natural gas
增加天然气的使用以取代诸如煤的常规燃料被广泛认为是降低增长和潜在降低全球温室气体排放增长的低成本路径。
The Australian Petroleum Production and Exploration Association (APPEA), in its Climate Change Policy Principles notes:
目前可用的天然气技术仅生产经常煤炭技术发电的30％至50％的排放。根据英联邦科学和工业研究机构（CSIRO），目前一代燃煤电站在一起时产生0.8％至1.2吨的二氧化碳当量温室气体排放（CO2-e），同时综合循环气体涡轮发电站仅产生约0.35至0.36吨CO2-E / MWH。
Natural gas is the lowest-cost means to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in electrical power generation, both through increased use of existing gas fired power plants and a 'coal to gas shift' (ensuring new power stations are gas fired). Figure 2 shows the cost of reducing emissions in electrical power generation. Increased use of natural gas also offers other environmental benefits, such as: reduced particulates emissions; reduced emissions of sulphur dioxide (an important contributor to smog and acid rain); and significantly lower demand for water for power station cooling".
雪佛龙正在努力将天然气的供应增加进入澳大利亚和国际能源市场，以帮助实现低成本温室气体排放的目标。
reducing our emissions footprint in australia
Chevron is working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from our Australian operations with a particular focus on identifying and implementing emissions reduction opportunities at the early design stages of our major capital projects. This includes the use of the latest technologies in subsea production, natural gas processing, waste heat recovery and the underground injection of reservoir carbon dioxide at our Gorgon Project. The Gorgon Carbon Dioxide Injection Project represents a significant investment with the objective of reducing the greenhouse gas emissions from the Gorgon Project by between 3.6 and 4.0 million tonnes per year.
