Chevron now expects the unit to generate more than $1 billion in operating cash flow by 2030, he said.\n“We’ve reached a point where we’ve got enough knowledge of the technologies,” Mr. Wirth said.\nThe increased green investment still represents a fraction of what Chevron is spending on oil and gas projects. In December,Chevron said its capital spending would range from $14 billion to $16 billion a year through 2025. The planned low carbon investment would amount to roughly 10% of that.\nMr. Wirth said Chevron’s strategy would allow the company to reinvest in its legacy business, while exposing it to new opportunities, as the nascent transition to lower-carbon emitting energy sources unfolds. Chevron could invest more in low-carbon energy, if certain policy incentives were put in place, he said.\nMr. Wirth has branded the company’s strategy as “higher returns, lower carbon.” Chevron plans to flesh out its plans in a presentation to investors Tuesday morning.\n“We’re trying to create options as the energy system evolves,” Mr. Wirth said. “We would hope to spend more than this in the future, predicated on certain things that may come to pass.”\nInvestors are increasingly asking oil companies to diversify beyond fossil fuels and articulate a strategy for charting how they will navigate tightening global regulations on oil and gas.\nThe Wall Street Journal previously reported Chevron is preparing to defend itself against a potential challenge from activist investors like the one by hedge fund Engine No. 1 that roiled Exxon Mobil Corp. earlier this year.\nChevron’s plans don’t involve investing in solar or wind power generation, which Mr. Wirth said are mature businesses that offer little profit opportunity for Chevron.\nInstead, it plans to increase production of biofuels and hydrogen and has signed a handful of such deals with industrial companies and airlines in recent weeks. Chevron also said it would capture or offset 25 million metric tons of carbon emissions a year.\nChevron hasn’t made a so-called net-zero commitment to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, and Mr. Wirth previously said the company won’t set targets which it doesn’t have a plan to achieve. Instead, Chevron has made pledges to reduce its so-called carbon intensity—or emissions as a proportion of total energy produced—and says the company has met those targets.\nBeginning last year, several large European oil companies, including BP PLC and Royal Dutch Shell PLC, committed to reduce to zero the net carbon emissions produced by the assets they own. Exxon Mobil Corp.is considering a similar pledge, The Wall Street Journal reported last month.\nIn May, nearly 61% of Chevron’s shareholders voted in support of a proposal—which Chevron had urged investors to reject—that the company cut emissions created from the use of its products.\nChevron will publish an update on its emission-reduction efforts later this year. Mr. Wirth said the company would also update investors on its thinking about net zero.\n“We’re not opposed to it all,” Mr. Wirth said of such goals. “But for us to declare we believe we can get there, we need to have confidence we can.”","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":886767953,"gmtCreate":1631626930972,"gmtModify":1676530593462,"author":{"id":"3585523674373467","authorId":"3585523674373467","authorIdStr":"3585523674373467","name":"Zhiwei996","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4a6365956853f581b591422381b6228c","vip":1,"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3585523674373467"},"htmlText":"Yes green investment is the way to go!
