BP Biofuels is a leading global biofuels player and since 2006 has announced investments of more than $1.5 billion in biofuels research, development and operations. We focus on three strategic areas: producing biofuels from the best feedstocks available today, including Brazilian sugar cane; investing in cellulosic biofuels made from ‘for purpose’ energy grasses; and developing the advanced molecule biobutanol, which can help biofuels to break through the blend wall. BP has also committed $500 million over 10 years in the Energy Bioscience Institute, where biotechnologists are investigating applications of biotechnology to energy.
In October 2009, the World Refining Association named BP Biofuels as Biofuels Corporation of the Year.
Greenergy is one of the UK’s largest suppliers of road fuel and a significant investor in the UK fuel supply infrastructure.

BioMCN is the first company in the world to use an innovative process for producing bio-methanol, a sustainable 2nd generation biofuel, on a large industrial scale. This process converts glycerine into high quality bio-methanol chemically identical to regular methanol. Bio-methanol is primarily targeted at transportation fuels as an attractive solution for refineries to meet biofuel mandates, but has many other applications.
