bp

bp’s purpose is to reimagine energy for people and our planet. It has set an aim of being a climate neutral company by 2050 or earlier and – in line with a new strategy first announced in 2020 – is on the pathway to transform from an international oil company to an integrated energy company, focused on providing solutions to customers globally in support of their energy needs and decarbonisation goals.

Low carbon hydrogen will play a central role in achieving these goals. In addition to H2-Fifty, bp has publicly announced low carbon hydrogen projects in Europe, the UK, the US and Australia and is pursuing opportunities across the value chain globally.

In the Netherlands, bp’s existing business is centered on the refining and marketing of fuels and lubricants, serving customers from mobility (including road, aviation and shipping) to agriculture and large industrial companies. The bp Rotterdam Refinery – which serves as the anchor customer for H2-Fifty – is one of the largest refineries in Western Europe. bp Netherlands employs around 2,000 people.
