Introduction from Bob Dudley
The world is growing like never before, creating opportunity for billions of people. And all this growth requires energy. But as the world demands more energy it also demands that it be produced and delivered in new ways, with fewer emissions.
At BP, we embrace this dual challenge. We have always looked to the future, adapted to change and reel challenges like this head on.
In this report, we examine how the energy world Is rapidly changing, set out our low carbon ambitions and show how we are helping to advance the energy transition.
Our experience
Two decades ago, BP was one of the first energy companies to address the threat of climate change, pioneering alternatives like wmc, solar and biofuels. We invested billions of dollars to make renewable energy a genuine alternative
Some of our investments w
it - others did
not. We were early, but I dc
we were
wrong, because we learned valuable lessons
along the way.
To deliver significantly lower emissions, every type of energy needs to be cleaner and better. A race to renewables will not be enough. That's why we are making bold changes across our entire business.
Our low carbon ambitions
Here's how we are doing it: by reducing, Improving, creating. We're reducing emissions in our own operations: we're improving our products to help customers lower their emissions; and we're creating low carbon businesses.
We are able to do this because c
ovativs
mindset of our people, our unique giobai research
network, and the potential being unleashed by
digital, big data and advanced technologies. This is
allowing us to rapidly develop new ways to tackle
emissions and improve efficiency, and to deploy
these throughout BIT
Reduce We have set clear targets for emissions in our operations. So even as our business grows to meet growing demand, our net carbon emissions will not. We'ii deliver this through sustainable reductions In our greenhouse gas emissions, by keeping a cap on our methane intensity and, as necessary, with offsets to keep net emissions at 2015 levels. We appreciate that there's more to do - but we see this as a critical next step in our journey to reduce emissions.
-> improve We're producing more natural gas - a lower carbon alternative to coal and a complement to renewables. And we're working with auto manufacturers to create fuels and iubricants that aiiow drivers to go further with fewer emissions. >>

Introduction from Bob Dudley continued
Create We are also creating low carbon businesses, such as LightSource BP, adding solar to our long-established renewables businesses In wind and biofuels.
And some of our most exciting work is m venturing, where we are making investments in a range of smart technologies and experimenting with new business models. The energy landscape is evolving quickly and no single solution is emerging as yet But we will be ready to scale up the most promising innovations into viable new businesses as the future becomes clearer
To validate all these efforts and encourage further action, we are introducing an accreditation programme across BP that we'Ve calling Advancing Low Carbon.
A shared challenge
I am surrounded by people who want to play their part: engineers, scientists, technicians, economists, specialists in energy policy. We are all hungry to do more. But we know that on our own, it Is never going to be enough.
The transition to a lower carbon economy requires everyone to be involved, from Individual consumers to globe: corporations, and from local authorities to national governments. When w s ail work together we can make progress, as happened In Pans in 2015.
We support the ambitions of the historic Paris Agreement, but the pledges made then and the actions taken since will not be enough to prevent a 2C rise. To help meet the challenge, we believe carbon must be priced - and only governments can do that.
Put a price on carbon and you incentlvize everyone to use less energy. You Incentlvize the use of lower carbon fuels. And you Incentlvize innovation and the hunt tor ail kinds of ways to lower emissions. Ai! my experience over the past 40 years in the energy business tells me that when yon inspire people, human ingenuity will find solutions.
it w on't be easy, true progress seldom is, but BP will never stop working to help the world keep moving and, mors importantly, keep advancing.

The changing energy mix
The demand for energy continues to grow - largely driven by rising incomes in emerging economies and a global population heading towards nine billion by 2040. At the same time, the energy mix is changing as technology advances, consumer preferences shift and policy measures evolve.
Renewables are now the fastest-growing energy
source in history and we estimate that they couid
account for 14% of ail energy consumption in 2040
- If not more. That said, oil and gas could meet at
least 40% of the world's enerav needs in 2040 -
even on a course that's con
nth the Pans
goal of limiting global warm
;s than 2C.
Gas offers a much cleaner alternative to coal for power generation and can lower emissions at scale. It also provides a valuable back-up for renewables Infermlttency, delivers heating af the high temperatures required by industry and Is
singly used in transportation.
Oil is the primary feel for transport today. We expect its share of the total energy m;x will gradually decline as we see more energy efficiency in traditional engines, greater use of biofuels and natural gas, and growth in fully electric and hybrid vehicles in the years ahead
W:tn oil and gas in high demand for years to come, it's essential that action Is taken to reduce emissions from their production and use.

Tackling the methane challenge
The Intergovernm ental Panel on Climate Change data suggests that methane accounts for around 20% o f m anm ade GHG em issions. Since m ethane is the prim ary com ponent o f natural gas, BP Is co m m itte d to taking a leading role in addressing the m ethane challenge.
Methane has a shorter lifetime in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, but it has a higher global warming potential. So, we are targeting a methane intensity of 0.2%, and holding it below 0.3% This includes the methane emissions from our operations where gas goes to market as a percentage of that gas
To manage our methane emissions, we use
Technology' like infrared cameras to identify
ar
revent small seeps from becoming
mors hazardous leaks.
Thirteen of our 22 major projects scheduled to be delivered by 2021 are gas, so w e 're designing them in ways that should reduce methane emissions from the outset
W e're working on this challenge with our industry peers, sharing best practice and investing in potentially breakthrough technologies. For example, we are active in the Oil and Gas Climate Initiative - whose member companies produce more than 25% of the world's oil and gas - in its aim to work towards near-zero methane emissions from the gas value chain.
And, we support research such as Princeton University's work to enhance the scientific understanding of methane and its contribution to global warming,

thane reduction
We introduced the technique known as green completions, which captures gas that would otherwise be flared or vented during the completion and commissioning of wells. We have also been swapping out high-bleed controllers with ones that emit less methane And, by drilling horizontal wells, we reduce the number of production facilities, along with their associated emissions. We periodically remove liquid from our wells so gas can flow. Methane can be emitted during this process, so we're using new technologies, such as enhanced automation, to reduce these emissions. We are also trialling pumps powered by solar energy rather than gas, as well as the use ot drones and truck-mounted laser sensors to detect and quantity methane leaks.

Producing more natural gas
Gas produces around had the carbon dioxide (CO,) em issions o f eoai when burned to generate power, That means gas can make a m ajor difference, as has happened in the US, w here abundant use o f gas from shale has helped drive the country's CO,em issions b ackd ow n to 1990s levels.
Gas is the ideal complement to renewables as It can be a lower carbon, cost-effective back-up to the variability of wind, solar and hydropower generation.
Emitting fewer pollutants, It is also better for air quality.
Just as importantly, gas is widely used for heating homes and businesses, as well as delivering the high temperatures needed in heavy Industries like steel, cement and metals.
And, gas is becoming more accessibie and affordable around tbs world thanks to a growing global gas market connected by ship and pipeline
BP is active in finding and producing gas, as wei! as its transport, storage and saie This puts us in a good position as the gas market grows and becomes increasingly competitive. And, by tackling methane emissions, we are helping to make sure that gas is a major lower carbon resource for years to come.

Using carbon offsets to support our low carbon ambitions
With carbon offsets, a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in one place compensates for emissions made elsewhere. BP is a leader in developing and using offsetting programmes. And, we will use offsets to underpin our iow carbon ambitions.
Carbon offsets are created through investment m activities that reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions or absorb carbon dioxide (CO.). That could be initiatives that provide lower carbon alternatives, like renewable energy or cookstoves to replace open fires. Or it could be projects that protect or enhance natural resources that soak up CO, from the atmosphere - such as land and forests.
Carbon offsetting is essential tor reaching the Paris goals - and we consider it a valuable supplement to our own emissions reduction activities.
Our Target Neutral programme provides a means for individuals and organizations to redoes their carbon
footprint through offsetting. Over the past 10 years, we have built up Significant expertise in carbon management projects around the world and have helped our customers offset more than three million tonnes of CO, equivalent.
We plan to offset any increase in our operational emissions above 201 5 levels that's not covered by our sustainable reductions activity. This means that, out to 2025, w e ll have no net increase in our carbon footprint, even as our production grows.
We currently offer more than 20 carbon neutral products and services to our customers, using Target Neutral to offset the emissions.
And, we are helping to grow markets for carbon credits through the sale and purchase of credits and by increasing their overall supply. We are able to use our powerful market Insights and Innovative platforms to help companies meet their own emissions reduction commitments, while providing income to the people who run the projects, in 2017 alone, we financed low carbon projects that resulted m emissions reductions of more than 12 million tonnes of CO, equivalent

Advocating for better policy and clearer incentives
Carbon pricing
We bsheve that carbon pricing is the most effective way fo incenfivize everyone - energy producers and consumers aiike - to play their part in reducing emissions. If makes energy efficiency more attractive and low carbon solutions, such as renewables and carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS), more cost competitive.
We expect around two thirds of BP's direct emissions will be in countries subject to emissions and carbon policies by 2020.
BP has played a major role In helping governments design their trading systems and we've been active as a trader In the world's current emissions trading systems since their Inception.
Pricing carbon adds a cost to our industry's production and our products -but It also benefits the sector by providing a roadmap for future investment and a level praying field for all energy sources
We are members of the US-based Climate Leadership Council and the international Carbon Pricing Leadership Coalition - two groups that advocate tor carbon pricing
How CCUS works
Internal carbon price
To help anticipate greater regulatory requirements affecting our GHG emissions, we use a carbon cost when evaluating our plans for large new projects and ones where there could be material emissions costs. In industrialized countries, our Internal carbon price is currently S40 per tonne of CCy equivalent, and we also stress test at a carbon price of $80 per tonne
Carbon capture, use and storage
We believe CCUS has a vital role to play In meeting the objectives of the Paris Agreement. It can achieve deep emissions reductions in existing power infrastructure and energy-intensive Industries that rely on the use of fossil fuels.
The technology has been in use for more than 20 years, but needs governmental support -- through a carbon price and other policy measures - fo accelerate Its deployment. Through the Oil and Gas Climate Initiative, we are working fo identify the policy mechanisms that may best promote the deployment of CCUS on a regional basis.
At BP, we are exploring opportunities to deploy CCUS In our own operations, projects arid products. For example, as pail of a joint venture In the United Arab Emirates, we are using CO, from industrial processes to enhance oil recovery

Keys to success
What you have read In these pages applies to every part ot our business, from the deep sea to the desert, from rigs to retail. The experience and expertise we have acquired over decades inform our actions, our future plans and our belief that, to meet global climate goals, the world should prioritize:
-> Reducing emissions rather than prom oting any one fuel as the answer. The world will need all forms of energy for a long time to come, so we need to make all fuels cleaner
Improving energy efficiency, where the greatest reductions in emissions can be achieved. Advances in technology for everyone - from industry to individuals -are creating huge opportunities to achieve gains over the coming years.
---> Carbon pricing as one o f the m ost significant steps that can be made. The more governments can do to bring about dear, stable pricing frameworks, the greater the Incentives for innovation and lower carbon choices.
No one company or sector alone can deliver a low carbon future. Everyone, from consumers to corporations to governments, needs to take responsibility. If we respond collectively, even a challenge as complex as climate change can be met. BP Is dedicated to being part of the solution.
