Reduction Program Among Industry's Best
Exploration and production in the oil and natural gas industry can be a challenging business, especially when a company is committed to minimizing the footprint it leaves behind.
Devon works hard to conduct its operations in an environmentally responsible way and to reduce its impact on land, water and the air.
Emission reduction is a key to Devon’s stewardship commitment. Our track record is illustrated by a tradition of accomplishment that demonstrates our drive to be an industry leader.
In Canada, we continue to take a proactive approach to emission reduction that reaches beyond government mandates. We use innovation and we implement technology that continues to reduce our emissions. We support educational programs that encourage emission reduction and we plan for further reductions in the future.
Through 2004, Devon’s efforts have resulted in total greenhouse gas emission reductions of 6,731 kilotons of carbon dioxide equivalent. For 2005, emission reduction initiatives will result in an estimated reduction of 815 kilotons of carbon dioxide equivalent.
Our aggressive stand on emission reduction has earned elite status among companies participating in Canada’s Voluntary Challenge and Registry program. Under the program administered by the Canadian Standards Association, Devon is a Gold Champion Level Reporter, a designation given to companies that achieve the highest level of participation.
For Devon, it is not enough to comply with minimum standards set by federal and provincial reporting mandates. We strive to improve, educate and plan ahead because a proactive emission reduction program is good for the environment, it saves energy and it is good for business.
