Chevron Corporation (CVX - Free Report) recently announced the beginning of a road trip across the U.S. Gulf Coast to demonstrate its innovative gasoline blend with more than 50% renewable content. The new fuel is expected to offer emissions savings similar to electric vehicles.
Renewable Gasoline Blend
As regulators across the world insist on electrification of road transportation, oil refiners and automakers like Toyota seek ways to decarbonize the internal combustion engine. According to Chevron executive Andy Walz, renewable gasoline blends will enable almost all drivers to play a role in lower carbon transportation without having to buy a new car.
The renewable gasoline blend is created by mixing traditional gasoline with renewable fuels, such as biofuels made from corn or soybeans. Chevron stated that this innovative fuel has more than 50% renewable content and is 40% less carbon intensive than traditional gasoline.
Lower Carbon Future Investment
CVX plans to accelerate its lower carbon ambitions by investing more than $10 billion by 2028. This includes $2 billion to lower the carbon intensity of its operations. The current investment estimate is more than triple the company's previous guidance of $3 billion.
People from Chevron and Toyota will drive Toyota’s Tundra, RAV4 and Camry on this road trip to demonstrate the fuel’s efficiency and emissions savings capacity. Toyota has been a pioneer in developing hybrid and fuel-cell vehicles and is committed to reducing its carbon footprint.
Driver Empowerment
The transportation sector accounts for approximately one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions, making it a significant contributor to climate change. As mentioned above, Chevron’s renewable gasoline blend could empower almost all drivers to play an important in lower-carbon transportation without having to buy a new vehicle.
