Greenopia Oil Company Rankings
SANTA MONICA, CA--(Marketwire - April 21, 2009) - One might think that Francis Ford Coppola's dialog for Godfather Michael Corleone was on the collective minds of Greenopia's research staff when they chose to keep environmental enemies closer by ranking the world's Big Oil Companies. Instead it was a service-minded approach addressing Greenopia consumers' desire to know where to fuel up.
"Fossil fuels are pretty much at the top of any environmentalist's black list," said Doug Mazeffa, Director of Research. "But until alternative fuel coalesces into large-scale market availability, cars are a vast and current fact of life and they are powered by refined crude oil. Our Greenopia consumers had a strong desire to learn where they should be buying gasoline."
Responding to growing readership demands for practical green choices, Greenopia extensively researched publicly-available sources in an effort to rank the oil companies that operate major retail fueling stations across the United States. Greenopia utilized a twelve-part analysis method, including greenhouse gas emissions and oil spill efficiency, to rank the Top 10.
The overall number one greenest oil company? BP. The British oil giant is leading the way by aggressively and effectively investing oil profits into alternative fuel research. The company also earned high marks for the transparency, breadth and accuracy of its environmental reporting.
