Building on the Corpus Christi refinery’s Energy Star certification, participation as an Energy Star partner will become a company-wide focus.

“Voluntary participation as an Energy Star partner is in line with our continued commitment to operational excellence,” said Carlos Jorda, President and CEO of CITGO. “Joining Energy Star provides access to a vast network of industry partners so that we can continue to learn and improve our energy efficiency as we prepare ourselves for a low carbon economy.”

Cindy Jacobs, Energy Star Commercial and Industrial Branch Head, said: “Improving the energy efficiency of our nation’s industrial facilities is an important step in helping protect the environment.”
