Our climate goals

Our energy transition strategy positions Irving Oil for long-term resiliency and growth through the energy transition process. Read more about our work to address climate change here.

Our 5-megawatt hydrogen electrolyzer would aim to mark the first pathway to green hydrogen for customers in the Atlantic region, leading to substantial reductions in sulphur dioxide emissions.  

Irving Oil operates 126 EV fast chargers across retail locations in Atlantic Canada and New England, as well as solar-powered retail sites in New Brunswick and Massachusetts.

Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) will help decarbonize our operations. An agreement with Anaergia Inc. will integrate RNG supply into our New Brunswick operations, while an Eco360 biogas-to-RNG project will see biogas project used for our existing operations.
