“Using definitions and guidelines established by the American Petroleum Institute, ChevronTexaco estimates its worldwide environmental spending in 2002 at US$1.3 billion for its consolidated companies. Included in these expenditures are $399 million of environmental capital expenditures and $925 million of costs associated with the control and abatement of hazardous substances and pollutants from our ongoing operations. This spending represents approximately 4.3 percent of capital and exploratory expenditures and 11.8 percent of operating expenses in 2002.”

“Our Kern River Cogeneration Co. facility in California, a joint venture, was the state’s first large cogeneration facility, with a generating capacity of 300 megawatts. After 20 years of operation, the facility’s air emissions permit was updated in 2007. To comply with the new requirements, Chevron worked with General Electric to install industry-leading combustion control technology, expected to be in operation at Kern River by April 2008.”

“We developed and installed California’s first megawatt-class hydrogen fuel cell cogeneration plant at Alameda County’s Santa Rita jail. The 1-megawatt project provides half of the facility’s annual power needs and is saving county taxpayers more than $260,000 a year. By reducing the facility’s demand for utility-provided power, the fuel cell plant offsets more than 3,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions each year.”
