In order to affordably expand its solar capacity, BP signed agreements with numerous
solar panel producers in Asia. BP has installed only 4 MW of solar panels in the United
States, those going to Wal-Mart stores in California. It does 70 percent of its solar business
in Europe where demand is higher. BP also has developed two of the largest solar power
plants in the world in Spain, projects that will supply energy to up to a million homes. BP
also supports the Solar Cities concept, which has brought more access to solar power to
seven cities across Australia.
As BP has continued its worldwide efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, it has
introduced a new solar-driven pump system at the Moxa Gas Field site in Wyoming. Two
kinds of pumps are located at each of the 460 wells: One pumps methanol, while the other
circulates heated glycol to prevent the freezing of equipment, which is a recurring problem
in the harsh fields of Wyoming. BP has installed 230 solar-driven methanol pumps to help
reduce the amount of natural gas needed to run the site. BP estimates that by using these
