OUR CLIMATE COMMITMENT

Credible, tangible plans to reduce emissions

We recently announced plans to further reduce emissions by 2025, based on 2016 levels. These plans represent some of the most aggressive reductions in the industry and are expected to result in:

  • 30% decrease in absolute greenhouse gas emissions in upstream operations
  • 40-50% decrease in absolute flaring and methane emissions

Effectively managing methane emissions

Natural gas is a versatile fuel, capable of powering utilities, homes and transportation. It also emits significantly fewer pollutants than coal power generation, including NOx, SOx, particulates, mercury, and up to 60 percent fewer greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). As recognized by the International Energy Agency and others, natural gas provides substantial air pollution and GHG benefits compared with coal, and can play a vital role in contributing to a sustainable energy mix. The IEA notes that addressing methane emissions across the value chain can further improve this strong environmental and sustainability profile.
