The Ipieca Principles and the Ipieca-WBCSD SDG Roadmap are key frameworks through which Ipieca aims to inspire action. This repository provides tangible examples of how members are operationalising the principles and embedding SDG Roadmap actions in their business, offering inspiration and insights for other companies. The examples are supplemented with relevant Ipieca good practice guidance and resources to further support companies to take the next step on their sustainability journey.

Turning waste into low-carbon ethanol
  • Map-pinCanada

Renewable fuels offer a practical solution for decarbonizing modes of transport for which electricity and hydrogen technologies are not well suited, such as aviation, trucking and shipping.

Eco-design in the packaging for Repsol Lubricant products
  • Map-pinSpain

One of Repsol’s pillars of its circular economy model is progressing in eco-design from all perspectives, including this principle when designing its production processes and equipment as well as for the design of its products and services.

A circular economy for polyurethane foam
  • Map-pinSpain

Repsol Reciclex® is a circular material that gives products a second life. The Repsol Reciclex® range, which encompasses both polyolefins and polyols, is made with different types of plastic waste that are incorporated into virgin polymers that otherwise would end up in landfill.

Solar panel recycling
  • Map-pinJapan

Idemitsu Group's Solar Frontier K.K. has been pursuing the development of recycling technologies for solar panels since 2010, recognizing the importance of establishing low-cost, environmentally friendly recycling technologies as a means of promoting the healthy expansion of solar power generation.

Montney Water Hub offers ESG benefits in Cutbank Ridge
  • Map-pinUnited States

Ovintiv's water resource hubs in the Cutbank Ridge of its Montney operating area are closed-loop systems that run on hydropower. Since the hubs have opened, they have conserved approximately 1.3 billion gallons of freshwater, equivalent to the average annual water use of approximately 9,000 households.  

Improving energy efficiency at OxyChem plants
  • Map-pinUnited States

OxyChem operates a billion pound-per-year capacity ethylene cracker at its plant in Ingleside, Texas. OxyChem estimates that it is eliminating approximately 970,000 metric tons per year of total CO2e due to the highly efficient design.

Using innovative technology to upgrade flash gas
  • Map-pinUnited States

Shell installed technology in 2019 in its Permian Basin (Texas) asset to reduce oxygen concentrations in oil tank vapors. As a result the gas now meets pipeline quality specifications for off-site sales, allowing it to be monetized and reducing flaring by 40%.

Houston CCS Alliance
  • Map-pinUnited States

The Houston CCS Alliance is a coordinated effort among some of the world's most innovative energy, petrochemical, and power generation companies to advance the development of carbon capture and storage (CCS) in the greater Houston industrial area.

Contribution to the Salk Institute's development of plant based carbon capture and storage
  • Map-pinUnited States

Hess is donating $50 million over the next five years to the Salk Institute's Harnessing Plants Initiative (HPI), which aims to combat climate change by developing plants' natural ability to capture and store potentially billions of tons of carbon per year from the atmosphere.

Supporting the Louisiana Coastal Restoration workforce
  • Map-pinUnited States

In the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, a region highly vulnerable to climate change, Kosmos Energy partnered with Tierra Resources, a Louisiana-based non-profit focused on wetlands restoration and the development of blue carbon capture projects.

Supporting native Texas grasslands
  • Map-pinUnited States

Since 2015, EOG has supported Texan by Nature, a collaborative partnership between natural resource users and conservation experts to promote conservation efforts that help sustain Texas's working lands, water supplies, and wildlife.

Acoustic marine monitoring project for offshore wind
  • Map-pinUnited States

Empire Wind (a 50:50 partnership with bp) and the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) announced in September 2022 the extension to 2028 of their historic agreement to monitor large whales in the lease area of Empire Wind. The new agreement ensures that important data to protect wildlife in the New York Bight will be collected during the pre-construction, construction, and post-construction phases of the wind project.

Predicting high-flow periods for sustainable water use
  • Map-pinUnited States

Murphy actively monitors its fresh water sources to predict the high-flow periods for long- and short-term forecasting. Fluctuations in moisture levels year-over-year, and the potential impacts of climate change on water resources, make it increasingly necessary to understand the impact on freshwater availability.

Carbon Emissions Tags
  • Map-pinUnited States

In June 2022, Cheniere began providing Cargo Emissions Tags (CE Tags) to all long-term customers. The CE Tags show the estimated greenhouse gas emissions associated with each cargo.

Building scale in renewables
  • Map-pinUnited States

bp and EnBW were awarded a ~860km2 lease option off the east coast of Scotland to develop a major offshore wind project, Morven. As part of their commitment to support oil and gas workers through employment and provide opportunities for reskilling in renewables, bp and EnBW have committed more than £1 million to X-Academy in Scotland.
