Chevron Renewable Energy Group Case Competition

March 7 @ 8:00 am 5:00 pm CST

Students present their case recommendations to company judges.The Ivy College of Business is excited to host the inaugural Chevron Renewable Energy Group Case Competition, February 27 – March 7, 2025. Open to all Ivy undergraduates, the challenge asks students to think critically about the future of renewable energy and explore innovative strategies for driving growth in the low-carbon fuels sector.

At Ivy, we are committed to empowering our students to address real-world challenges with creative and impactful solutions. In this case competition, teams will have one week to work on the case and prepare a set of strategic recommendations based on research and analysis. You’ll then present your recommendations to Ivy faculty and executives from Chevron REG on March 7.

It’s a great opportunity to:

  • apply your knowledge.
  • gain valuable experience.
  • connect with industry leaders.
  • win scholarships and other prizes.

We can’t wait to see how you shape the future of renewable energy through your ideas and insights! Space is limited; please register by February 20.

The case competition is sponsored by Chevron Renewable Energy Group and the Ivy Business Analytics and Digital Strategy Forum.

Liquid low-carbon fuels such as biodiesel and renewable diesel play a vital role in producing cleaner and more sustainable energy systems. Both fuels are produced from renewable resources such as vegetable oils, animal fats, and waste cooking oils, making them cleaner alternatives to petroleum-based diesel.
