Description

Worldwide energy consumption is projected to increase by more than 40 percent by 2035. The growing demand is fueled by a population that is predicted to increase 25 percent in the next 20 years, with most of that growth in countries with emerging economies. At Chevron, we recognize the world needs all the energy we can develop, in many potential forms. That's why we're investing in a broad portfolio of energy resources – developing not only conventional sources of oil and gas, but also investing in renewables and the next generation of energy sources. Chevron Global Power Company President Hugh Connett will review Chevron’s renewable assets, and discuss how Chevron is working to integrate renewable power into our broad energy portfolio.
