Our transformation

Plans into action

We believe the world wants and needs a better and more balanced energy system – one that delivers energy that is secure and affordable, as well as lower carbon.

And, not or

Our strategy helps us to do both – invest in today’s energy system, which is predominately oil and gas, AND, not or, invest more in our transition and the energy transition.

And while we’re mostly in oil and gas today, we’ve increased global investment in our lower carbon, convenience stores and power trading businesses (what we call our ‘transition growth engines’) from around 3% in 2019 to around 30% last year.

Increasing investment in these engines is a sign that bp’s wider transformation is under way. Alongside oil and gas, we’re turning plans into action:

  • Bioenergy – to produce more renewable fuels made from waste or plants.
  • EV charging – to help accelerate the switch to electric vehicles.
  • Convenience – to help make everyday life a little easier.
  • Renewables & power – generating homes and businesses with low carbon energy from the sun and wind.
  • Hydrogen and carbon capture and storage – to help build the lower carbon energy system of the future.

See below for more information on our transition businesses.

We’re making progress

Working in partnership to accelerate change

Tackling climate change cannot be achieved in isolation; it needs everyone to pull together.

That’s why bp is collaborating with exceptional partners – across cities and corporations – on the journey towards net zero. Here are some of our many invaluable partnerships
