Sector Benchmark

Note: Latest GHG and revenue data (based on tradingview.com) are used to calculate GHG emissions intensity by sector. The color scale of each bubble depends on the GHG intensity (GHG emissions per 1 million USD revenue). Sectors follow the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) that organize companies based on their primary business activities. The 11 sectors are : Information Technology, Health Care, Financials, Consumer Discretionary, Communication Services, Industrials, Consumer Staples, Energy, Utilities, Real Estate, and Materials.

Valero Energy belongs to the sector Energy.

Offsets

Last update for Valero Energy by zerotracker.net: Sept. 4, 2024
Planning to use external offset credits Yes
Separate targets for emission reductions and removals Yes
Conditions on use of offset credits
  • Other conditions
Plans for carbon dioxide removal (CDR) Yes (CCS-based removals e.g. BECCS, DACCS)

Additional notes: See target notes for a breakdown of expected reductions Some wishful thinking re CCS. LARGE-SCALE CARBON CAPTURE AND STORAGE — Our participation in Navigator's proposed large-scale carbon capture and sequestration pipeline system is expected to capture and remove nearly 3 million metric tons of biogenic CO2 annually from eight of our ethanol plants. Carbon sequestration further reduces the CI of ethanol and increases its market value. STAND-ALONE CARBON CAPTURE AND STORAGE — We are currently evaluating and developing stand-alone carbon sequestration projects at our eastern ethanol plants, which could sequester about 1 million metric tons of CO2 a year. Our ethanol plants represented in the map to the right are located near geology believed to be suitable for successful CCS projects, making them potentially attractive for development
