The ICAM supports bp by providing research that deepens understanding of the energy system and the scientific challenges involved in its transition. In February 2025, bp announced a more focused and selective approach to low carbon investment, while continuing to produce the energy needed today. This reflects bp’s view that progress depends on solutions that can scale responsibly and deliver value in real world conditions. The ICAM’s interdisciplinary research contributes insight and evidence that help bp navigate these choices.
bp also reaffirmed its ambition to be a net zero company and to help the world get to net zero by 2050 or sooner. It aims to achieve this by reducing operational emissions and methane intensity and by improving the carbon performance of its products. The ICAM’s work supports this ambition by improving understanding of materials, processes and energy systems that can lower emissions and enhance performance across bp’s portfolio. Through close collaboration between academia and bp, the ICAM helps inform decisions that support bp’s long term transition goals.
