    Chevron arm launches $500 million fund to invest in low carbon technologies

    Chevron's venture capital arm launched on Tuesday its third fund to invest in renewable energy technologies with a $500 million commitment, as oil majors look to diversify their business in the face of pressure to reduce their emissions. Like the previous two funds, the Future Energy Fund III will focus on innovations in industrial decarbonization, emerging mobility, energy decentralization and the growing circular carbon economy, Chevron Technology Ventures said. It added that the new fund also aims to expand investment in the areas of novel low carbon fuels, advanced materials and transforming carbon to higher value products.
