British BP will reduce carbon trace to zero over 30 years

The new leadership of the British oil and gas company BP set a goal to reduce by 2050 a carbon trace of the oil giant to pure zero and reduce the carbon component of the energy implemented by 50%, writes The Guardian. The long -term chapter of BP Robert Dudley had just lost the post of CEO of the successor to Bernard Luni.

On the model of other oil companies, the BP will create a new team for environmental tasks. It should submit a detailed strategy for compensation for carbon oxide emissions in September. Most likely, it will enter the planting of trees, investments in renewable energy and ecotherapy, as well as a decrease in oil production and processing.

BP promises that it will lobby for political opposition to global warming.

The oil company does the emphasis on ecology for a reason: BP is faced with growing criticism for plans for increasing oil and gas production by 20% until 2030. A protest was held near her office, and companies working with BP were criticized. Eco -activists do not forget the largest oil leak in the story on the Deepwater Horizon platform in 2010, with the consequences of which Dudley was understanding.

• Today, Greenpeace said that due to contamination of air from combustion of fossil fuel, the world economy loses $ 8 billion daily, and the burning of coal, oil and gas, which causes health problems, can lead to 4.5 million premature deaths in the world every year.
• In Rosneft, whose share owns BP, they do not share enthusiasm for green energy: Rosneft's chief executive director Igor Sechin is waiting for a sustainable growth in oil demand - at least 10% by 2040.
