Investing in production
Biofuels are an integral part of BP's energy portfolio. We’ve already made significant investments to become a global producer of ethanol – with real projects underway right now.
In 2011 BP purchased the remaining shares in Brazilian biofuel company Tropical BioEnergia SA, taking BP’s total share to 100%. In the same year, BP expanded its investments significantly with the full acquisition of the Brazilian sugar and ethanol producer Companhia Nacional de Açúcar e Álcool (CNAA). BP is now an owner operator of three ethanol mills located in Goiás and Minas Gerais staes in Brazil.
Together with DuPont and AB Sugar, we have built a commercial-scale ethanol plant in the UK on an existing BP site at Hull. The plant, operating under the name Vivergo Fuels, has a production capacity to produce 420 million litres of ethanol and 500,000 tonnes of animal feed annually. The facility has the potential to be retroffitted to produce the advanced biofuel biobutanol in future.
