Chevron demonstrates renewable gasoline blend via a road trip across the Gulf Coast
In California, Chevron U.S.A. Inc., a subsidiary of Chevron Corporation, kicked off a road trip today across the U.S. Gulf Coast to showcase a new gasoline blend with more than 50% renewable content. People from Chevron and Toyota will be driving Toyota’s Tundra, RAV4 and Camry on this road trip with the objective of demonstrating the fuel, which is more than 40% less carbon intensive than traditional gasoline on a lifecycle basis. The road trip will run from Mississippi through Louisiana before concluding in Texas. During the tour, Chevron representatives will talk with members of the public about the benefits of lower carbon fuels like biofuels and renewable gasoline blend. “Multiple solutions are needed to help lower the carbon intensity of the transportation sector,” said Andy Walz, Chevron’s president of Americas Products. “With more than 265 million gasoline-powered vehicles on the road today in the United States, renewable gasoline blends could empower virtually all drivers to have a role in a lower carbon transportation future.
