California has some of the highest environmental and safety standards in the world, yet imports more than 75% of the its oil - primarily from countries with weaker environmental protections, higher emissions and fewer worker safeguards. Relying on foreign imports not only raises costs and emissions but also undermines energy security and economic opportunity for Californians.
That’s why CRC is committed to producing California-made energy for all Californians - delivering reliable, responsibly produced oil and natural gas right here at home. Using advanced technology, we help California lower emissions while maintaining energy reliability and security.
By keeping production local, we support good-paying jobs and strengthen our economy while helping the state achieve its decarbonization and energy transition targets. |

Carbon TerraVault & National Cement:
A Breakthrough for Carbon Neutrality
CRC’s Carbon TerraVault (CTV) and National Cement have signed an MOU to develop California’s first net-zero cement facility—LebecNet Zero. This project will capture, transport and permanently store up to one million metric tons of CO₂ annually, driving industrial decarbonization and local economic growth.
Backed by up to $500 million in matching funds from the U.S. Department of Energy, this initiative represents a major step toward a cleaner, more sustainable future.
