Ticker	Company	Reason
MPC	Marathon Petroleum Corporation	Marathon Petroleum Corporation is one of the largest petroleum refiners and marketers in the United States, operating 13 refineries with a combined capacity of approximately 2.9 million barrels per day. The company derives the vast majority of its revenue from refining crude oil into gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and other petroleum products, which it sells through its Speedway retail chain and other marketing channels. This core business of processing and distributing fossil fuels places it squarely within the downstream fossil fuel sector. The company has a documented history of environmental violations related to its operations. In 2015, the U.S. Department of Justice and Environmental Protection Agency reached a settlement with Marathon for failing to comply with Clean Air Act fuel quality standards at several facilities, which the EPA estimated resulted in roughly 40 excess tons of volatile organic compound emissions. More recently, ViolationTracker documents ongoing environmental penalties, including a 2024 EPA fine of $225,715. A significant 2021 incident involved a crack in an aging pipeline that released 1,400 barrels of oil, described as the company's worst spill in years. While Marathon has initiated some renewable diesel production, such as a test run at its Dickinson refinery in 2021, and explored modest distributed energy projects, these efforts represent a minor component of its overall business strategy focused on expanding and maintaining its fossil fuel infrastructure. The company's continued reliance on and investment in petroleum refining and marketing, coupled with its record of operational pollution, defines its primary economic activity.
DINO	HF SINCLAIR CORP	HF Sinclair Corporation operates as a major independent petroleum refiner and marketer in the United States. The company derives substantially all of its revenue from refining crude oil into transportation fuels and other products, operating refineries in Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. Its business includes the marketing of refined products under the Sinclair brand through a network of approximately 1,500 branded wholesale locations and travel centers. The company was formed through the 2022 combination of HollyFrontier and Sinclair Oil, creating a new downstream parent entity, HF Sinclair Corp. This merger consolidated significant refining and marketing assets, including the acquisition of Sinclair Oil's branded marketing business and its related logistics network. The company's operations are concentrated in the refining and sale of gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and other petroleum-based products. HF Sinclair has been involved in ongoing climate litigation. In November 2023, a settlement between HF Sinclair and Shell was noted as having resolved Sinclair's claims against the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control related to such proceedings. The company's core business model remains focused on the processing and sale of fossil fuels.
VVV	Valvoline Inc.	Valvoline Inc. is a downstream fossil fuel company whose core business is the manufacturing and global distribution of engine lubricants derived from crude oil. Its primary revenue stream comes from the sale of motor oils, transmission fluids, and other petroleum-based automotive products. In 2023, Saudi Aramco, the world's largest integrated oil and gas company, acquired Valvoline's global products business for $2.65 billion. This acquisition integrated Valvoline's lubricants portfolio into Aramco's downstream operations, directly linking Valvoline's product line to one of the world's largest fossil fuel producers. The company's financial disclosures show consistent, multi-billion dollar annual revenue from these downstream activities. Valvoline continues to own and operate its retail services segment, which includes over 1,700 quick-lube service centers in North America that perform oil changes and other maintenance, creating direct demand for its fossil-fuel-derived products. There is no evidence of a strategic transition away from petroleum-based lubricants or a material commitment to non-fossil alternatives.
PARR	PAR PACIFIC HOLDINGS INC	Par Pacific Holdings operates primarily as a downstream fossil fuel company, deriving its revenue from refining, marketing, and retail distribution. Its core assets include three refineries with a combined throughput capacity of over 160,000 barrels per day, located in Hawaii, Washington, and Montana. The company's retail segment, operating under the Hele and nomnom brands, includes approximately 150 retail locations. These operations are central to its business model, with refining and marketing constituting the vast majority of its revenue. The company has actively expanded its fossil fuel infrastructure. In 2022, Par Pacific acquired the 63,000 barrel-per-day Billings, Montana, refinery and related pipeline assets from ExxonMobil for $310 million. Its investor materials highlight a strategic focus on "maximizing refinery cash generation" and capitalizing on its niche geographic markets. The company identifies regulatory and investor sentiment related to climate change and fossil fuels as a material risk to its business, but has not announced a transition plan away from its core refining and retail operations.
SHI	Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited	Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited is a major integrated petrochemical company principally engaged in oil refining and the production of chemicals and synthetic fibers. Its core operations involve processing crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks. The company's business is centered on fossil fuel refining. Its 2021 sustainability report references projects within its "oil refining department," and public announcements describe its operations as part of a transition "from fossil energy to fossil energy combined with renewable energy." As a subsidiary of the state-owned China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (Sinopec Group), its activities are integral to the fossil fuel supply chain. Available evidence is insufficient to precisely classify its primary activity within the fossil fuel taxonomy (upstream, midstream, downstream, or services). The company's exclusion is based on its central role in refining crude oil, a core fossil fuel process. A specific revenue breakdown or operational scale is not provided in the gathered sources to determine its exact categorization.

PBF Energy Inc. is an independent petroleum refiner and supplier whose core business is the processing of crude oil into transportation fuels, heating oils, and petrochemical feedstocks. The company owns and operates six oil refineries across the United States, constituting its entire revenue base. This business model is fundamentally tied to the downstream segment of the fossil fuel industry. The company has a documented pattern of environmental violations. According to ViolationTracker, PBF Energy has accumulated 28 environmental violation records with total penalties of $29.3 million, including 61 air pollution violations totaling $10.9 million in penalties. These enforcement actions reflect systemic operational failures in pollution control at its refining facilities. PBF Energy’s business strategy remains focused on fossil fuel refining without a disclosed plan to transition its asset base or revenue streams away from petroleum products. The company’s operations are directly implicated in the production and supply of high-emission commodities.
SPH	Suburban Propane Partners LP	Suburban Propane Partners LP is a master limited partnership that distributes propane, fuel oil, and refined fuels to residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural customers. Its core business is the retail marketing and distribution of propane, a fossil fuel derived primarily from natural gas processing and crude oil refining. The company operates a vast distribution network of storage terminals, transport trucks, and local delivery infrastructure to supply these fuels. The company's operations are directly tied to the fossil fuel supply chain. It purchases propane from producers, pipelines, and terminals, then sells it to end-users for heating, cooking, and other energy needs. This model makes Suburban Propane an essential ancillary service provider, enabling the continued consumption of fossil fuels in markets often beyond the reach of natural gas pipelines. The company has not announced a strategic transition away from fossil fuel distribution or significant investments in renewable energy alternatives.
WKC	WORLD KINECT CORP	World Kinect Corp, formerly World Fuel Services, is a global energy management company whose core business is the marketing and distribution of fossil fuel products.

The company distributes gasoline and diesel fuel through a network of branded distributors and operates a portfolio of refined product terminals and pipelines. In its most recent fiscal year, Sunoco reported revenue of $25.2 billion, derived overwhelmingly from these fossil fuel activities. While Sunoco's operations are focused on the downstream distribution and marketing of refined products, its corporate structure and financial performance are intrinsically linked to the fossil fuel value chain. The partnership is a majority-owned subsidiary of Energy Transfer LP, a major midstream energy infrastructure company. Sunoco's business model involves the logistics and sale of petroleum products, with no announced plan to transition away from fossil fuels or significant investment in renewable energy alternatives.
PSX	Phillips 66	Phillips 66 is a leading integrated downstream energy company whose core business is refining, marketing, and distributing fossil fuel products. It operates 15 refineries globally with a total capacity of approximately 1.9 million barrels per day, making it the fourth-largest refiner in the United States. The company also manages over 86,000 miles of pipelines and processes more than 40 billion pounds of chemicals annually, deriving the vast majority of its revenue from these fossil fuel-based operations. In July 2025, a federal jury ordered Phillips 66 to pay $800 million in damages to biofuel maker Propel Fuels for stealing trade secrets. The court found that Phillips 66 had unlawfully used Propel's confidential financial data and business strategies during due diligence to build its own renewable fuels business, with the jury determining the misappropriation was willful and malicious. This penalty highlights significant governance and legal risks within the company's operations.
GTY	Getty Realty Corp	Getty Realty Corp is a net lease real estate investment trust specializing in the acquisition and development of convenience and gasoline retail properties. Its core business involves leasing real estate to operators of gas stations and convenience stores, deriving its revenue from these downstream fossil fuel retail tenants. The company's portfolio is concentrated in this sector, making the distribution and sale of gasoline a central, material component of its business model. The company has been directly implicated in litigation concerning groundwater contamination from the gasoline additive MTBE. In August 2020, Getty Realty entered into a proposed settlement of a lawsuit brought by the State of New Jersey over MTBE pollution. This follows a prior 2013 settlement related to Getty Petroleum Marketing. These legal actions link the company's core real estate assets to the environmental legacy and ongoing liabilities associated with fossil fuel retail distribution.
