What Chevron Corporation does

Chevron Corporation operates a lower carbon fuels business, primarily through its subsidiary Chevron Renewable Energy (formerly Renewable Energy Group, acquired in 2023). The company produces biodiesel via transesterification and renewable diesel via hydrogenation with proprietary isomerization technology, utilizing 15 different feedstock types including used cooking oil and agricultural byproducts. Production reached 408 million gallons in 2023, achieving 3.8 million metric tons of carbon reduction. Core products include Biodiesel, Ultra Biodiesel, Renewable Diesel, a proprietary 80/20 Renewable Diesel/Biodiesel Blend with superior cold weather performance, Sustainable Aviation Fuel, Renewable Natural Gas, Compressed Natural Gas, and Hydrogen.

The business serves commercial and industrial fleet customers across trucking, railroad, marine, mining, heating oil, agriculture, aviation, construction, and government sectors. Named customers and partners include Sheetz, Restaurant Technologies, Freight carriers, and logistics companies. Distribution is facilitated through an integrated network of production facilities, distribution terminals, and retail locations, supplemented by partnerships with Booster (mobile fueling), GoodFuels (marine), and Optimus Technologies (B100 systems).

Revenue is generated through direct sales of fuels under quote-based, multi-year enterprise contracts. The company employs a consultative sales approach with custom fuel solutions and in-house GHG emissions reporting capabilities. Operationally, the company is headquartered in San Ramon, California, with primary lower carbon fuels operations in Ames, Iowa, and a European office in Amsterdam. The renewable diesel market is projected to grow from $26.83 billion to $62.20 billion between 2025 and 2035 (8.77% CAGR), driven by regulatory tailwinds including the US Renewable Fuel Standard and California Low Carbon Fuel Standard.

Revenue model

1. Renewable Diesel Sales: Sale of renewable diesel fuel to commercial and fleet customers. Renewable diesel is a drop-in fuel compatible with existing diesel infrastructure, meeting ASTM D975 specification.
2. Biodiesel Sales: Production and sale of biodiesel fuel made from various feedstocks including plant-based oils, used cooking oil, and industry byproducts. Biodiesel can be used as blend stock or at 100% concentration.
3. Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) / R-CNG: Sale of renewable compressed natural gas produced through anaerobic digestion of manure, food, municipal and solid waste from dairy farms, waste facilities and landfills.
4. Compressed Natural Gas (CNG): Sale of CNG for heavy-duty trucking and fleet applications as a lower carbon alternative to diesel.
5. Fuel Blends and Specialty Fuels: Sale of blended fuels including renewable diesel/biodiesel blends, fuel blends, renewable naphtha, and renewable propane.

Products and services

• Biodiesel A bio-based fuel made from plant-based resources and waste feedstocks that emits less greenhouse gases than traditional petroleum diesel. It is a drop-in fuel compatible with most existing diesel vehicles and infrastructure, suitable for commercial fleets and industrial customers seeking lower carbon alternatives.
• Ultra Biodiesel A high-quality biodiesel product offering superior performance compared to standard biodiesel, designed for commercial and fleet customers seeking enhanced fuel quality and reliability.
• Renewable Diesel/Biodiesel Blend A blend of 80% renewable diesel and 20% high-quality biodiesel providing one of the lowest overall engine emissions of any diesel fuel, with superior cold weather performance and consistent low freezing point for year-round use in commercial fleets.
• Renewable Diesel A renewable fuel made from the same feedstocks as biodiesel but using a different production process (hydrogenation with isomerization). It meets the same ASTM D975 specification as petroleum diesel and has up to 85% less sulfur than ultra-low sulfur diesel, higher cetane, and added lubricity for commercial and industrial fleet customers.
• Sustainable Aviation Fuel Lower carbon intensity fuel solutions for the aviation industry designed to help reduce lifecycle carbon emissions from aircraft operations, serving airlines and aviation operators seeking sustainable alternatives to conventional jet fuel.
