We are using carbon as shorthand for greehouse gases. They are measured in C02 equivalents.
We realize we share the planet with everyone. We want to do more to help keep it clean. So, now, when you BUY a Chevrolet, we will invest in renewable-energy, energy efficiency programs and planting trees in communities across America. When completed over the next few years, these projects will reduce carbon by up to 8 million metric tons. This is just a start, a first step, We hope you will join us.....

THE ENVIRONMENT AND YOUR COMMUTE: CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG?
Making a difference in our environment starts with driving a more fuel-efficient vehicle. That's why we use advanced technologies like Variable Valve Timing, six-speed transmissions and Active Fuel Management to make every Chevrolet vehicle as efficient as possible. We offer many models with 30 mpg hwy or better including Aveo5 with an EPA estimated 35 mpg hwy and Malibu with an EPA estimated 33 mpg hwy.
WHY PUMP FOR FUEL WHEN YOU CAN GROW IT?
For the past ten years, Chevrolet has been producing vehicles capable of running on a biofuel that grows primarily from the earth. E85 ethanol is a mostly renewable fuel source made from U.S.-grown grain products. In the future, E85 will be made increasingly from agriculture, forest and municipal waste. E85 biofuel burns cleaner than gasoline and can help decrease our dependence on petroleum. E85 biofuel consists of 85% ethanol, 15% gasoline and generally has a higher octane rating than gasoline, which can result in slightly higher horsepower and torque levels. There are more than 2.5 million E85 FlexFuel Chevrolet vehicles on the road today, and Chevrolet offers more E85 FlexFuel-capable vehicle choices than any other brand. Availability of E85 ethanol varies by state at more than 1,900 stations across the country
Chevrolet offers hybrids that fit the way you live..
Hybrid technology has come a long way since the first model was introduced. The latest incarnations, full-sized trucks and SUVs, like the Chevrolet Tahoe hybrid and Silverado hybrid (at participating dealers only) just happen to have the same city fuel economy as a VW Beetle(2). This is a result of Chevrolet engineers meticulously designing every hybrid to perform at the highest level possible. The exclusive two-mode hybrid technology delivers the best performance and efficiency Chevrolet has to offer in a hybrid vehicle.
THE BEST EMISSIONS STRATEGY IS A ZERO-EMISSIONS STRATEGY.
The Equinox Fuel Cell market test (not available for sale) is exploring more sustainable technology that can help reduce our dependence on petroleum, without sacrificing performance.
It's not news that fossil fuels aren't renewable, so Chevrolet took it upon itself to lead the charge using cleaner fuel which can be produced from renewable energy sources.
Project Driveway was a three-city, real-world test program powered by Chevrolet's fourth-generation hydrogen fuel cell technology. This test program proved that zero tailpipe emissions and clean burning technology is close.
