number five
supply chains
As more countries and companies around the world make commitments to a net-zero future, focus is intensifying on the role of natural gas. Clay Neff, president of Chevron Middle East, Africa, South America Exploration and Production, participated in a CERAWeek panel, “The Role of Gas in Decarbonization.”
“The gas that we produce in the Eastern Mediterranean is two kilograms of carbon per BOE intensity, so this is very low carbon intensity gas that is helping improve emissions and providing reliable, affordable fuel in the region.”
