Chevron Corporation has unveiled its third Future Energy Fund with a commitment of USD 500 million. The Future Energy Fund III is dedicated to investing in renewable energy technologies, allowing Chevron to explore long-term opportunities beyond its current scope of operations.
The focus areas include innovative low-carbon fuels, advanced materials, carbon transformation into higher-value products, industrial decarbonization, mobility solutions, and the circular carbon economy. Building upon the successes of its predecessors, the first Future Energy Fund launched in 2018 and the second in 2021, with a combined commitment of USD 400 million.
Over 30 companies, including Aurora Hydrogen Inc., Electric Era Technologies Inc., ChargePoint Holdings Inc., and Carbon Clean Solutions Ltd., have benefited from investments from these funds.
Initial investments from the latest fund will range from USD 1 million to USD 5 million, primarily targeting Series A through C rounds. The objective extends beyond financial returns, aiming to reinforce Chevron's traditional oil and gas operations, support its multi-billion dollar diversification efforts into areas like carbon capture and hydrogen, and lay the groundwork for future opportunities in emerging technologies. This strategic move comes at a time when major oil companies face mounting pressure to reduce emissions and expand their business portfolios. This investment will play a pivotal role in the global solar and wind markets.
