greenhouse gas managementwe're taking steps to manage greenhouse gases

Chevron supports the Paris Agreement and views it as an important step toward global engagement and cooperation to address climate change. We are taking action to reduce the carbon intensity of the company’s operations. Chevron believes in taking prudent, practical and cost-effective actions to address climate change risks.

We have robust risk management processes in place that we believe effectively address climate change-related risks. We consider greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions issues, climate change risks and carbon pricing risks in our strategies, business planning and risk management tools and processes.

Across our operations, the primary sources of our GHG emissions are combustion of fuels and, in some locations, flaring and venting of the natural gas (methane) that is extracted along with crude oil.

We are committed to managing our GHG emissions by lowering carbon intensity cost efficiently, increasing renewables to support our business and investing in the future targeting breakthrough technologies.

enhancing transparency with investors and stakeholders

我们强大的治理实践提供framework for enhancing transparency related to climate change. For example, in response to growing interest from our investors and stakeholders, Chevron voluntarily published three dedicated climate reports over the last three years, largely using the recommendations of the Task Force for Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). These reports explain our strategic decision-making approach as it relates to climate change-related risks and opportunities, including our ongoing evaluations of our portfolio and future investments. As we’ve shared in our reports, these evaluations confirm that our mature and diverse portfolio is resilient in many scenarios and our asset mix enables us to be flexible in response to potential changes.

energy efficiency

Using energy more efficiently helps preserve our natural resources, lower energy costs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

flaring reduction

使员工包括在达到气候相关问题的进展情况下对准员工,董事会将上游强度减少度量设定为25%至30%的燃烧,2016-2023次时间段的甲烷排放量为20%至25%。这些新的绩效措施用于确定我们的年度可变薪酬计划,影响约45,000名员工。

Methane accounts for approximately 5 percent of Chevron’s total GHG emissions. Approximately a third of the 5 percent are considered fugitive emissions, or leaks from equipment and piping; of the remaining emissions, most are generated by flaring and venting.

自2013年以来,雪佛龙减少了燃烧和相关的排放量22%。我们已经开发了内部国家特定计划,以尽量减少天然气燃烧,我们是世界银行的全球气体燃气燃烧伙伴关系的成员。雪佛龙仅在安全性和操作目的时均燃烧天然气,并且在管道和其他运输气体的其他替代品不存在的区域。

managing fugitive methane emissions

我们继续设计,构建和运营我们的设施,以减少我们的运营和限制逃逸排放的排放。我们通过定期检查和安全测试监控和验证我们的井和生产设备的完整性。为了更有效地跟踪逃避排放,我们在选择油气操作中使用红外摄像机来帮助定位和补救泄漏。我们继续测试和部署新的创新,以提高我们检测和减少排放的能力。

Our leadership in this area includes being a founding member of the American Petroleum Institute–led Environmental Partnership. We have retrofitted or replaced more than 1,000 continuous high-bleed pneumatic controllers from our onshore U.S. facilities with low-emitting or non-continuous-bleed technologies to reduce emissions. In addition to making operational commitments, Chevron has participated in workshops to share best practices with other operators and has taken action to implement the lessons learned from these workshops.

In addition, Chevron provides financial and technical support to research efforts, including the Collaboratory to Advance Methane Science and the Oil & Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI). Chevron also continues to serve on the Industrial Advisory Board of the Methane Emissions Test and Evaluation Center (METEC), a Colorado State University and U.S. Department of Energy advanced research facility.

methane guiding principles

Consistent with our ongoing efforts to reduce methane emissions from our global operations, Chevron has joined other energy companies supporting the Oil and Gas Methane Partnership Guiding Principles. As part of our commitment to these Guiding Principles, we will strive to improve accuracy of methane emissions data, advocate sound policies and regulations on methane emissions and work to increase transparency. This commitment is aligned with our already strong environmental principles which guide how we develop energy in an environmentally responsible manner throughout the life of our assets in all countries where we do business.

carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS)

新兴GHG-mitiga CCUS是投资组合的一部分tion technologies that can help manage future emissions, although the economics of this technology remain challenging. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), CCUS is an important tool for mitigating GHG emissions and meeting the goals expressed in the Paris Agreement. CCUS is one of the key focus areas for the OGCI’s $1 billion+ investment fund, which aims to invest in projects that demonstrate commercial viability and scalability.

Chevron has invested approximately $1.1 billion in CCUS projects, including Gorgon’s Carbon Dioxide Injection Project – one of the world’s largest integrated carbon capture and storage projects in operation. Once operational, these projects are expected to reduce GHG emissions by nearly 5 million metric tons per year, approximately equivalent to GHG emissions from annual electricity usage in 620,000 U.S. homes’ combined. In addition, Chevron has invested more than $75 million in CCUS research and development over the past decade.
