Bar chart displaying GHG Emissions by Source
2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007

Chevron's net decrease of approximately 1 million metric tons of CO2-equivalent emissions from 2006 to 2007 can be attributed primarily to reduced flaring in western Africa, the divesture of Chevron's share of a refinery in the Netherlands and improved estimation methods. The reduction is offset primarily by emissions from increased production in Nigeria.

Chevron's 2004, 2005 and 2006 greenhouse gas emissions have been restated from 60.7, 59.0 and 61.9 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent to 59.4, 58.8 and 61.5 million metric tons, respectively, as a result of continuing data analysis and improvements in Chevron's environmental reporting.

Chevron no longer uses the Chevron Energy Index to report externally on energy efficiency due to a recalibration in 2007 that makes year-to-year comparisons inaccurate. The company is now reporting energy efficiency expressed as a percentage improvement from 1992.

(1) Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) derive primarily from fugitive emissions from equipment (such as valves, pumps and compressors), flaring and venting, and flashing gas. Nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulfur oxides (SOx) occur during combustion.

(2) Global VOC emissions were reduced by 32 percent compared with 2006 primarily due to improved emissions estimates as part of ongoing improvements in Chevron’s environmental reporting.

(3) Global SOx emissions decreased by 22 percent compared with 2006 mainly due to improvements at the Pascagoula Refinery in Mississippi, United States, and the Cape Town Refinery in South Africa; changes in the crude feedstock for the Cape Town Refinery; and a reduction of flaring in Chevron's Angola operations.

(4) Global NOx emissions increased by approximately 5 percent compared with 2006. This is primarily due to additional equipment associated with the restart of production in one of Chevron’s Nigeria facilities.

VOC and NOx emissions in the “Other” category increased due to additional operations allocated to that category.
