✅ Reported Environmental Achievements
- Reduced Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 56% on a CO2e basis from 2021 baseline levels (Scope 1 CO2e – 76% decrease; Scope 2 CO2e – 13% decrease)
- Eliminated more than 32,000 metric tonnes (MT) of CO2e emissions by shutting down California heavy crude heaters
- Increased use of solar power in operations (Midwest operations power 50% of stations using solar, including battery storage; California operations continue to add solar to power rectifiers and motor operated valves)
- Pipeline consolidation in California reducing electricity requirements and fugitive emissions
- Installed geodesic dome on 120,000-barrel tank in San Joaquin Valley to reduce storage tank emissions
- Retired 3 tanks with a total capacity of 139,000 barrels in 2022 and scheduled to retire another 81,000 barrels in 2023
- Improved emissions intensity by 10% since 2021, outperforming the average pipeline by 80%+
