Intelligent Solutions for Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction

Solutions that help keep oilfield operations powered while supporting greenhouse gas reduction.


It’s rarely a single activity that reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in oil and gas. Requirements vary by region, infrastructure can be constrained and many operations need solutions that protect ROI while making measurable progress. That’s why a holistic approach matters.

Caterpillar looks across your whole site and prioritizes actions based on where emissions are generated, what can be addressed now and what can scale over time.

The best fit for your operations may bring together a variety of solutions. Flexible power options help sites adapt to changing fuel availability and operating needs while maintaining dependable power. Methane reduction technologies focus on minimizing releases from equipment and processes. And carbon capture separates CO2 from exhaust or process streams so it can be transported for storage or use.

Caterpillar’s role is to be a knowledgeable resource, helping you understand tradeoffs, compare near-term and long-term options and align technology choices to the realities of your operations.

Understanding greenhouse gas emissions in power systems

Greenhouse gases trap significant amounts of heat energy, then re-radiate heat back toward the surface, contributing to the warming effect known as the greenhouse effect. Many companies in the oil and gas industry have made public commitments to reducing their greenhouse gas emissions, responding not only to market expectations but also to regulatory pressure. 

We know your operation can’t stop, which is why we deliver outcome-driven solutions that help you meet power requirements. We have solutions that keep your operations powered while minimizing your carbon footprint.

Flexible Power Solutions

Power needs in oil and gas are changing fast, driven by tighter emissions expectations, volatile fuel pricing, grid constraints and the reality that regulations and priorities differ by region. With flexible power solutions from Caterpillar, we can help you keep productivity high while adapting to uncertainty. It’s about building power systems that can use the fuels available today, pivot as conditions evolve and improve the total cost and carbon profile of your operations without compromising reliability.

Gas To Power

Gas to power is the use of available natural gas — whether field gas onsite or pipeline gas — to generate electricity for operations. It can be a practical option for you when grid access is limited, power demand grows faster than infrastructure or sites need more control over availability and cost.
