Solving the puzzle: lower carbon energy for a growing world
summary
World energy demand rises ~33% over the next decade per BP and renewables likely supply only about one third by 2040, so a mix is required with oil and gas still ~40% if paired with carbon capture and storage. BP-led Oil and Gas Climate Initiative groups 13 companies covering ~30% of production. BP VC invests >$400M; examples: fulcrum bioenergy turns household waste into bio-jet (productivity tripled, cost halved; 175k UK homes’ waste = 180 return LON–NY flights) and Solidia cures concrete with CO2 in a day, locking emissions.
