CHAPTER 7 Cepsa and the environment Atmosphere

Our activities include potentially air polluting processes, which increases the importance of preventing and controlling our emissions to avoid or minimize adverse effects on health, ecosystems, the environment and ma- terials.

The effort to reduce emissions is evi- denced by the indicators, which have

maintained a downward trend in Ex- ploration and Production, Refining and Petrochemicals, even after the commissioning of new plants, such as Shanghai.

In the Petrochemicals area the de- crease in emissions has reached the limit, as all factories use natural gas as fuel.
