Environmentally Responsible Operations
Best-in-class environmental performance through reliability, operational excellence, and investments in renewable energy.
Investments in the past two decades to upgrade facilities and implement techniques to further protect the environment, produce low-sulfur content gasolines and distillates products, bases for gasolines with ethanol content and install vapor recovery units to minimize VOC (volatile organic compounds) emissions at the dock and at the tank truck loading rack.
Reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 21% in comparison with the base year of 1990 by reviewing its practices, bringing in energy efficiency projects while doubling its capacity and producing low-sulfur content gasolines and distillates.
More than 99% of the electricity used at our Quebec City refinery comes from renewable sources – mainly hydropower, with small portions from wind, biomass and biogas.
