Operating
Sustainably

We make progress on
environmental stewardship.

America’s refiners, petrochemical manufacturers, and midstream companies are meeting the world’s energy and material needs while reducing our impact on the environment and being good neighbors to the communities we serve. We continuously improve our operations, invest in new solutions, and help build a world that we can all be proud of.

The Spotlight

Reducing Environmental Impact

We’re using lower-carbon energy to power our operations. U.S. refiners are using solar energy to run refineries and reduce emissions.

“We have to continue rising to the challenge.”

Zak

Engineer and Project Manager,

Flint Hills Resources Pine Bend Refinery

Pipelines are the safest and most efficient way to move energy. We build and operate pipelines in ways that reduce impact to the environment.

“It’s all driven to protect the environment.”

Reducing emissions from operations

We are leveraging lower-emissions energy sources like on-site, behind-the-meter solar installations to power facilities and reduce our carbon footprint.

“The challenge for our industry is to continue to solve these issues and move forward in ways that make us more efficient and more sustainable.”
Zak,
Project Manager,
Flint Hills Resources

Building infrastructure with minimal impact

Throughout both construction and operation, our industries work to minimize our impact on the land. We work with landowners, non-profit organizations, and other stakeholders to support habitat preservation, clean water, and healthy communities both within and outside our fence lines.

“Being able to help the pipeline company craft how they construct their infrastructure allows me to return my property to a grassland and continue my conservation effort. It’s all driven to protect the environment.”
