Producing and using oil and gas can affect air quality. We have developed more efficient transport fuels for customers and focused on improving motorists’ fuel efficiency. We also work to reduce air pollution from our operations, including limiting emissions of nitrogen oxide, sulphur dioxide and volatile organic compounds.

In the early 1990s, we were one of the first companies to produce ultra-low sulphur diesel on a commercial scale. Since then, we have invested more than $1 billion to produce a wider choice of lower sulphur fuels for ships and heavy vehicles. We also produce liquefied natural gas for use as ocean and land transport fuel.
