Chevron Corp is using a new system to manage its energy use more effectively and monitor greenhouse gas emissions from all of its worldwide operations, including transportation. Chevron Energy and Greenhouse Gas Inventory System (CEGIS) is an automated, electronic data management information system designed to gather monthly data.
It will also be used in the company's worldwide activities in exploration and production, refining and marketing, petrochemicals, and coal. In addition, the system will assist the company in setting goals for energy and emissions reduction, identifying potential improvement areas, evaluating capital projects, and generating corporate energy and environmental reports.
The new system was developed with the consulting firm of Arthur D Little Inc, and is an extension of the Chevron energy management system in which Arthur D Little also participated in the conceptual design.
