Chevron is the world's largest private producer of geothermal energy. Overall, we produce enough geothermal energy to meet the needs of 16 million people living in Indonesia and the Philippines, where our geothermal operations are located. The advantages of geothermal energy are enormous. It is a reliable energy source and can reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Geothermal power plants emit virtually no greenhouse gases. And geothermal energy is renewable, since it is derived from the natural heat within the Earth.
