温室气体管理we're taking steps to manage greenhouse gases

雪佛龙支持巴黎协议并将其视为迈向全球参与和合作以应对气候变化的重要一步。我们正在采取行动,降低公司业务的碳强度。雪佛龙认为采取谨慎,实用且具有成本效益的行动来应对气候变化风险。

我们拥有强大的风险管理流程,以至于我们相信有效地应对气候变化相关的风险。我们考虑温室气体(温室气体)排放问题,气候变化风险和碳定价风险在我们的战略,业务规划和风险管理工具和流程中。

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.

碳强度降低cost efficiently

碳强度降低
We take active steps to reduce our carbon footprint. Chevron has established goals to reduce equity net GHG emission intensity from Upstream oil and natural gas. We intend to lower Upstream oil net GHG emission intensity by 5–10 percent and Upstream natural gas net GHG emission intensity by 2–5 percent from 2016 to 2023. Further, we aim to reduce net methane emissions intensity by 20–25 percent and reduce net flaring intensity by 25–30 percent from 2016 to 2023. In addition, we tie GHG reduction metrics to compensation for executives and nearly all Chevron employees.

加强投资者和利益相关者的透明度

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. You can find out more about our performance data on theSustainability Reporting page.

耀斑减少

To align employee—including management—incentives with achieving progress on climate-related issues, the Board of Directors set Upstream intensity reduction metrics of 25 to 30 percent for flaring and 20 to 25 percent for methane emissions for the 2016–2023 time period. These new performance measures are used to determine our annual variable pay program that affects approximately 45,000 employees.

甲烷占雪佛龙总收入总排放的5%。5%的大约三分之一被认为是逃逸的排放,或从设备和管道泄漏;剩下的排放量,大多数是通过燃烧和通风产生的。

Since 2013, Chevron has reduced flaring and associated emissions by 22 percent. We have developed internal country-specific plans to minimize gas flaring, and we are a member of the World Bank–led Global Gas Flaring Reduction Partnership. Chevron flares natural gas only when required for safety and operational purposes and in areas where pipelines and other alternatives for transporting gas do not exist.

managing fugitive methane emissions

We continue to design, construct and operate our facilities with an eye toward reducing emissions from our operations and limiting fugitive emissions. We monitor and verify the integrity of our wells and production equipment with regular inspections and safety tests. To more efficiently track fugitive emissions, we use infrared cameras in select oil and gas operations to help pinpoint and remedy leaks. We continue to test and deploy new innovations to improve our capacity to detect and reduce emissions.

我们在这一领域的领导层包括美国石油研究所领导环境伙伴关系的创始成员。我们从我们的陆上美国设施中改造或取代了1,000多个连续的高流出气动控制器,具有低发光或非连续出血技术,以减少排放。除了制定业务承诺外,雪佛龙还参加了与其他运营商分享最佳实践的研讨会,并采取了行动,以执行从这些研讨会中汲取的经验教训。

此外,雪佛龙为研究努力提供了财务和技术支持,包括促进甲烷科学和石油和天然气气候倡议(OGCI)的协作。雪佛龙还继续在甲烷排放试验和评估中心(Metec),科罗拉多州立大学和美国能源先进科学设施部的工业咨询委员会。

甲烷指导原则

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.

叛乱光电学
雪佛龙was an early partner of Rebellion Photonics in its efforts to develop and deploy innovative gas imaging technology, which currently is used primarily as an early warning system for gas loss of containment. In addition to being a customer, Chevron has provided Rebellion Photonics with technical expertise to help scale up its product, make it more reliable and improve the user experience. Chevron is currently working with Rebellion Photonics to apply its technology to methane detection, to enable further reductions in emissions.

carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS)

CCU是新兴GHG缓解技术组合的一部分,可以帮助管理未来排放,尽管该技术的经济性仍然具有挑战性。必威体育APP官网根据国际能源机构(IEA),CCU是减轻温室气体排放和履行巴黎协定中表达目标的重要工具。CCU是OGCI为10亿美元+投资基金的关键焦点领域之一,旨在投资展示商业可行性和可扩展性的项目。

雪佛龙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.
