Our Services
Many advances have been made in protecting the environment since the passage of the Clean Air Act in 1970. Oil companies have redesigned their refineries to reduce emissions into the air and water. Gasolines have been reformulated to burn cleaner, dramatically cutting the levels of lead, nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbons released into the air.
The production, transportation, distribution, and consumption of petroleum are strictly regulated to minimize the negative effects on the environment.
Our increasing dependence on petroleum presents a continuing challenge. The future must balance the growing demand for petroleum products with protection of the global environment.
