Renewable Fuels
Renewable Fuels Portfolio
Guided by our principles for Leading in Sustainable Energy, we are sharpening our focus on meeting the world’s growing energy needs while reducing our carbon emissions intensity. One principle is to Expand Renewable Fuels and Advanced Technologies, which includes increasing the volume of renewable fuels we produce and market, seeking ways to expand the use of renewable energy in our operations, and innovating and deploying advanced technologies that reduce environmental impact while enhancing business performance.
