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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
