CDP6 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Questionnaire - BP

Respondent: BP

General Information
It is not a requirement of the CDP questionnaire to give an introduction to your answer, but if you would like to do so, please give it here in the text box below or attach a document.
As a global energy company, providing around 2% of the world&s primary energy, we have a responsibility to help the world meet its increasing demand for energy in a sustainable way. BP recognizes the paradox whereby the energy which provides society with heat, light and mobility - fuelling economic growth and development - simultaneously presents us with serious environmental and social challenges.

1 - Risks and Opportunities
Question 1(a)(i) Regulatory Risks
How is your company exposed to regulatory risks related to climate change?
We consider our company to be exposed to regulatory risks because... 
BP has identified a material risk to its business activity which is stated in our Annual Report (20-F) page 9 as:

"Climate change and carbon pricing: Compliance with changes in laws, regulations and obligations relating to climate change could result in substantial capital expenditure, reduced profitability from changes in operating costs and revenue generation, and strategic growth opportunities being impacted."

Our Annual Report (20-F) page 41 contains an assessment of regulatory developments (attached)

Our view is that there is now a strong probability of stringent climate legislation in OECD countries in the next few years.

We also note that there are currently significant energy security concerns that are strong drivers of energy policy. In many cases these coincide with climate objectives (eg energy efficiency) but in some cases they present a tension (eg use of coal) in the development of policy.

 
Would you like to provide any additional information relating to this question that you have not provided elsewhere?
No

Question 1(a)(ii) Physical Risks
How is your company exposed to physical risks from climate change?
We consider our company to be exposed to physical risks because... 
In 2005 the integrity of our operations was severely challenged by the two hurricanes Katrina and Rita that struck some of our US assets.

Like other petroleum companies BP invests heavily in engineering structures that could be vulnerable to modest changes in local climate. The size of our exposure and the changing risk to both our future operational integrity and our current facilities is not yet well understood. In adapting to a world in which extreme weather might be more common there is also a risk of over-engineering solutions and consequently increasing our construction and abandonment costs.

In addressing these issues we are carrying out research, jointly with Imperial College London, to understand better the potential impacts on BP&s operations posed by a changing climate. The initial focus of this work is in the arctic region where melting permafrost could have a significant impact on our operations.

 
Would you like to provide any additional information relating to this question that you have not provided elsewhere?
No 

 
Question 1(a)(iii) General Risks
How is your company exposed to general risks as a result of climate change?
We consider our company to be exposed to general risks because... 
BP is exposed to a variety of changes of energy price and demand due to indirect impacts of climate regulation on energy markets.

 
Would you like to provide any additional information relating to this question that you have not provided elsewhere?
No 

 
Question 1(a)(iv) Risk Management
Has your company taken or planned action to manage the general and regulatory risks and/or
adapt to the physical risks you have identified?
We have taken or planned action. 
BP's actions in response to this risk include:
- Internal energy efficiency improvement programme to manage BP's operational emissions
- Development of fuels and lubricants that enable our customers to reduce their emissions
- Investment in new businesses that provide lower carbon energy sources
- Providing a constructive business voice in the policy debate. We also actively monitor proposed legislation for the possible future impact on BP operations and markets
- Enhancing public understanding of the climate issue through, for example, awareness programmes in schools and carbon calculator/carbon offsetting propgrammes
- Research and development to better understand the physical risks to our operations, to continue to improve our conventional fossil fuel business and to identify new opportunities for low carbon energy sources

 
Would you like to provide any additional information relating to this question that you have not provided elsewhere?
No 

 
Question 1(a)(v) Financial and Business implications
How do you assess the current and/or future financial effects of the
risks you have identified and how those risks might affect your business?
We assess current and/or future financial effects by... 
At high level BP identifies material company risks which are refined and discussed by senior executive management and the Board. Material risks are reported in BP's Annual Report and Accounts.

BP has also assessed the more specific risks due to climate regulation under the following headings:
- the financial impact due to the imposition of a carbon price on BP's operational emissions
- the financial impact due to the imposition of a carbon price on the emissions associated with the use of our products
- the impact of regulations other than carbon pricing (eg. vehicle fuel effciency regulations) on the demand for transport fuels

This assessment is used to shape investment and business planning

 
Would you like to provide any additional information relating to this question that you have not provided elsewhere?
No 

 
Question 1(b)(i) Regulatory Opportunities
How do current or anticipated regulatory requirements on climate change offer
opportunities for your company?
We consider that current or anticipated regulatory requirements offer opportunities because... 
Curent or anticipated regulation is creating fast growing markets for low carbon sources of energy which BP is pursuing as part of its business startegy.

BP has a commitment to invest $8bn in the decade to 2015 in its Alternative Energy business.

BP Alternative Energy, launched in November 2005, combines all of BP&s interests in businesses that provide low-carbon energy solutions for power generation: solar, wind, gas-fired power generation and hydrogen power with carbon capture and storage (CCS).

Solar
BP Solar&s main production facilities are located in Maryland (US), Madrid (Spain), Sydney (Australia), Xi&an (China) and Bangalore (India). During 2007, expansion of cell capacity continued at our Madrid and Bangalore facilities, alongside a $100-million project to expand casting capacity at Maryland, increasing our annual manufacturing capacity to 228MW. BP Solar achieved sales of 115MW in 2007 (93MW in 2006 and 105MW in 2005).

In 2007, BP Solar and Banco Santander installed 14 Megawatts peak (MWp) of the planned 20MWp installations in Spain, while in the US, BP Solar won a bid to develop 4.3MW of solar energy systems for seven Wal-Mart Stores in California, with the first three installations completed by the end of December.

We are developing a new silicon growth process named Mono2, which significantly increases cell efficiency over traditional multicrystalline-based solar cells, making our first pilot shipment in 2007. Solar cells made with these wafers, in combination with other BP Solar advances in cell process technology, are expected to be able to produce between 5% and 8% more power than solar cells made with conventional processes. We are working with a number of research universities and institutes including the California Institute of Technology in the US where we are pursuing nanotube solar installations. This represents another step improvement in cost and efficiency. In Germany, we signed a co-operation agreement with the Institute of Crystal Growth (IKZ) in September 2006 to develop a technique to deposit silicon in very thin layers directly on glass instead of growing crystals. The programme has demonstrated this ability and work continues to improve the growth process and crystal structure. We are participating in a $40-million research and development programme (of which $20 million is provided by BP Solar) aimed at decreasing the cost of solar cells and increasing their efficiency. The programme is sponsored by the US Department of Energy.

Wind
Since 2005, we have increased our wind capacity from 32MW to more than 370MW, with an aim to grow that to more than 1,000MW by the end of 2008. We operate wind farms in the Netherlands, Maharashtra in India and Colorado in the US. In the US, we have a long-term supply agreement with Clipper Windpower plc, with options to purchase Clipper turbines with a total capacity of 2,250MW. During 2006, we also acquired Orion Energy, LLC, and Greenlight Energy, Inc. With the acquisition of these large-scale wind energy developers, our North American wind portfolio includes projects with potential total generating capacity of some 15,000MW. During 2007, we commenced construction on the Silver Star I project (60MW) in Texas and commenced full commercial operation of our 300MW Cedar Creek project in Colorado.

In India, we commenced full commercial operations at our 40MW wind farm in Dhule, Maharashtra, India using 32 turbines supplied and installed by Suzlon, each with the capacity to generate 1.25MW of electricity.

Gas-fired power
Gas-fired power stations typically emit around half as much CO2 as conventional coal-fired plants. We have interests in a 785MW gas-fired power generation facility and an associated LNG re-gasification facility at Bilbao, Spain (BP 25% share in each), a 1,074MW gas-fired combined cycle power (CCGT) plant at Kwangyang, South Korea (BP 35%), a 724MW CCGT facility at Phu My, Vietnam (BP 33.3%), a 1,378MW gas turbine (BP 10%) in Trinidad & Tobago, a 392MW co-generation plant (BP 51%) in California, US and a 744MW co-generation plant at Texas City, US (BP 50%), which supplies power and steam to BP&s largest refining and petrochemicals complex. Also, a 50MW combined heat and power plant near Southampton, UK (BP 100%) has been in operation since the first half of 2005. Construction continues on the 250MW steam turbine power generating plant at the Texas City refinery site, which is expected to bring the total capacity of the site to around 1,000MW when completed in 2008.

Hydrogen power
In May 2007, BP and Rio Tinto announced the formation of a new jointly owned company, Hydrogen Energy, which will develop decarbonized energy projects around the world. The venture will initially focus on hydrogen-fuelled power generation, using fossil fuels and CCS technology to produce new large-scale supplies of clean electricity. We are developing industrial-scale hydrogen power projects with CCS technology. General Electric and BP have formed a global alliance to jointly develop and deploy technology for hydrogen power plants that could significantly reduce emissions of the greenhouse gas CO2 from electricity generation.

In addition BP is a major provider of natural gas, a fuel with about half the CO2 emissions of coal fired power generation.

No 

 
Question 1(b)(ii) Physical Opportunities
How do current or anticipated physical changes resulting from climate change present
opportunities for your company?
We do not consider that current or anticipated physical changes offer opportunities because... 
We believe that the broader implications for changes in future energy markets are very much more material than the opportunities from physical changes due to climate change

 
Would you like to provide any additional information relating to this question that you have not provided elsewhere?
No 

 
Question 1(b)(iii) General Opportunities
How does climate change present general opportunities for your company?
We consider that climate change offers opportunities because... 
BP observes that there are business opportunities that are not driven by regulation. In general terms these include products that offer attractive energy saving opportunties for our customers such as improved transport fuels and advanced lubricants.

 
Would you like to provide any additional information relating to this question that you have not provided elsewhere?
No 

 
Question 1(b)(iv) Maximizing Opportunities
Do you invest in, or have plans to invest in products and services that are designed
to minimize or adapt to the effects of climate change?
Climate change has led to investment or planned investment in order to maximise climate change opportunities. 
BP is making very substantial investments in low carbon energy businesses (please see answer to Q 1(b)i )

BP is also investing significant funds in research and development of new low carbon energy technology, for example:

In 2007, as part of our engagement with technology development, two major BP-backed research institutes came into full operation: the Energy Biosciences Institute (EBI) in the US, and the Energy Technologies Institute (ETI) in the UK. The EBI is a strategic partnership between BP, the University of California, Berkeley, the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of Illinois, that will perform research into the production of new and cleaner energy, initially focusing on advanced biofuels for road transport. The EBI will also pursue bioscience-based research in three other key areas: the conversion of heavy hydrocarbons to clean fuels, improved recovery from existing oil and gas reservoirs and carbon sequestration.

In the UK, the ETI has been established as a 50:50 public private partnership, funded equally by member companies, including BP, and the government. The ETI aims to accelerate the development, demonstration and eventual commercial deployment of a focused portfolio of energy technologies, which will increase energy efficiency, reduce GHG emissions and help achieve energy security and climate change goals. The ETI has issued its first Invitation for expressions of interest to participate in programmes to develop new technologies for offshore wind and for marine, tidal and wave energy.

 
Would you like to provide any additional information relating to this question that you have not provided elsewhere?
No 

 
Question 1(b)(v) Financial and Business Implications
How do you assess the current and/or future financial effects of the
opportunities you have identified and how those opportunities might affect your business?
We assess current and/or future financial effects by... 
As an energy company we assess the impact of climate change regulation and market changes as one input to our overall business planning activity:

- Short to medium term impacts, such as the influence of tightened vehicle fuel efficiency standards in many countries, are factored into our forecasts for transport fuel demand.
- The long term impacts are factored into our investment planning - as evidenced by our investment in Alternative Energy

 
Would you like to provide any additional information relating to this question that you have not provided elsewhere?

Please select the methodology that you have used using the radio buttons.
If you have used the GHG Protocol or ISO 14064-1, please also give references to any calculation tools that you have used or an explanation of any calculation methods that you have devised yourself. Please explain the data sources of the Global Warming Potentials and emission factors used in your calculations. If you cannot find a reference for them within a supplied calculation tool, please contact the provider of the calculation tool for the information.

If you have used a methodology that you have devised yourself, please would you explain your methodology, including methods of calculation, and the data sources of the Global Warming Potentials and emission factors.
Other 
BP&s Environmental Performance Reporting Guidelines comprise detailed reporting instructions and calculation methodologies covering a wide range of environmental parameters including GHG emissions.

The reporting boundaries and emissions calculation approach are consistent with both GHG Protocol and the IPIECA/API/OGP Petroleum Industry Guidelines.

The BP Guidelines recommend a tiered approach to calculating emissions requiring the use of approaches (tiers) based on determination of fuel consumption and fuel properties for major sources rather than the use of emission factors. For minor sources and where it is not feasible to determine actual fuel properties BP defaults to IPCC emission factors. For industry specific "process" emissions the BP Guidelines recommend emission factors from the API Compendium of Greenhouse Gas Emission Methodologies for the Oil and Gas Industry.

Global Warming Potentials are taken from the IPCC Second Assessment Report as recommended in the CDP6 Guidance Notes. The GWP for methane is 21.

BP reports GHG emissions in tonnes of CO2 equivalent of carbon dioxide and methane.

Question 2(b)(ii) Scopes 1 and 2 of GHG Protocol
If you are unable to detail your Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions and/or electricity consumption, please report the GHG emissions you are able to identify together with a description of those emissions. If you have answered 2(b)(i), please go to question 2(c)(i).

 
Would you like to provide any additional information relating to this question that you have not provided elsewhere?
No 

 
Question 2(c)(i) Other Emissions & Scope 3 of GHG Protocol
How do you identify and/or measure Scope 3 emissions?
See detailed answer below.

 
Please provide where possible:

a. Details of the most significant Scope 3 sources for your company.
In terms of materials used in the manufacture of our products, BP is effectively at the beginning of the supply chain in terms of fossil fuel production. Thus the vast majority of the emissions related to BP activities are downstream of the supply chain to BP. In the case of our refined products and chemicals products, the carbon in the feedstock represents the majority of the material climate impact. BP is also a consumer of fossil fuels it produces, with most of our primary energy for operations generated from hydrocarbons we extract.

BP has over 135,000 different suppliers of materials, products and services across more than 100 countries providing a huge range of engineering, technical, construction, retail, financial, computing and legal services, among many others. Many of BP&s suppliers already report their emissions publicly. While in some areas, we are beginning to evaluate supply chain emissions and identify ways to effect reductions, a complete inventory of BP&s supply chain emissions is not viewed as either practical or material, relative to BP&s operational or product related emissions.

 
b. Details in metric tonnes CO2-e of GHG emissions in the following categories:


i Employee business travel.

 
ii External distribution/logistics

 
iii Use/disposal of company&s products and services.
521000000 CO2e metric tonnes


 
iv Company supply chain.

 
c. Details of the methodology you use to quantify or estimate Scope 3 emissions.
BP estimates the CO2 emissions from the end use of our hydrocarbon fuel products from our production of natural gas and natural gas liquids and our refinery throughputs and using industry standard emission factors.

 
Would you like to provide any additional information relating to this question that you have not provided elsewhere?
Yes 
Data on external distribution/logistics, employee business travel, and supply chain are not available as fully built up Group level data.

 
Question 2(d) External Verification
(i) Has the information reported in response to Questions 2(b)- (c) been
externally verified or audited or do you plan to have the information verified or
audited?
Yes (Please go to 2(d)(ii)) 

 
(ii) If your answer to question 2d(i) is Yes, please provide or attach a copy of the audit or verification statement or state your plans for verification.
The emissions data for the calendar year 2007 and corresponding to BP global totals has been taken from the BP Sustainability Report 2007 and hence covered by the assurance statement provided to BP management by the independent auditors Ernst and Young.

A full copy of the E&Y assurance statement is included in the attached copy of the Sustainability Report 2007.

The emissions data corresponding to individual countries or Annex B countries is not explicitly covered by the E&Y assurance statement, but is collected and collated using the same assured processes.

 
(iii) Please specify the standard or protocol against which the information has
been audited or verified.
See the E&Y assurance report included in the attached BP Sustainability Report.

 
Would you like to provide any additional information relating to this question that you have not provided elsewhere?
No

Question 2(e) Data Accuracy
Does your company have a system in place to assess the accuracy of GHG emissions inventory calculation methods, data processes and other systems relating to GHG measurement? If so, please provide details. If not, please explain how data accuracy is managed.
Yes, we do have a system. 
BP&s Environmental Performance Reporting Guidelines comprise detailed reporting instructions and calculation methodologies covering a wide range of environmental parameters including GHG emissions. BP employs the &decentralized approach&, where according to GHG Protocol &individual facilities collect activity/fuel use data, directly calculate their GHG emissions using approved methods, and report this data to the corporate level&. The BP approach is used as a case study on page 45 of GHG Protocol.

Line managers in the operations are required to provide assurance through the data reporting sytem and on an annual basis that systems and processes are in place to ensure the reported data is both accurate and complete.

The consolidated emissions inventory is the reviewed by technical subject matter experts at Segment and Group level.

 
Would you like to provide any additional information relating to this question that you have not provided elsewhere?
No 

 
Question 2(f) Emissions History
Do the emissions reported for your last accounting year vary significantly compared to previous years? If so, please explain reasons for the variations.
Yes, they do vary significantly. 
Our total 2007 operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 63.5MteCO2e on a direct-equity basis were nearly 1Mte lower than the 64.4Mte reported in 2006. In 2007, increasing activity levels within BP Shipping, the start-up of the Texas City refinery and new oil and gas production, primarily in Angola, Algeria and Azerbaijan, were more than compensated for by the Coryton refinery divestment, some GHG reporting protocol changes and the delivery of emission reductions.

 
Would you like to provide any additional information relating to this question that you have not provided elsewhere?
No 

 
Question 2(g) Emissions Trading
i) Does your company have facilities covered by the EU Emissions Trading Scheme?
Yes, our company has facilities covered by the EU ETS. (Please answer 2(g)(i)(a), (b) and (c) and 2(g)(ii).)  

 
If so:

a) Please provide details of the annual allowances awarded to your company in Phase I for each of the years from 1 January 2005 to 31 December 2007 and details of allowances allocated for Phase II commencing on 1 January 2008.

In all cases, please enter whole numbers without punctuation, For example, enter 2000 instead of 2,000.

Please enter allowance in Metric Tonnes of CO2:

1 January 2005-31 December 2005
10182076 Metric Tonnes CO2

 
1 January 2006-31 December 2006
10340302 Metric Tonnes CO2

 
1 January 2007-31 December 2007
12987725 Metric Tonnes CO2

 
b) Please provide details of actual annual emissions from facilities covered by the EU ETS with effect from 1 January 2005.

Please enter emissions in Metric Tonnes of CO2.

1 January 2005-31 December 2005
9788976 Metric Tonnes CO2

 
1 January 2006-31 December 2006
9884859 Metric Tonnes CO2

 
1 January 2007-31 December 2007
12107804 Metric Tonnes CO2

 
Phase II annual allowances

1 January 2008 & 31 December 2008
12791249 Metric Tonnes CO2

 
1 January 2009 & 31 December 2009
12941218 Metric Tonnes CO2

 
1 January 2010 & 31 December 2010
12813724 Metric Tonnes CO2

 
1 January 2011 & 31 December 2011
12813724 Metric Tonnes CO2

 
1 January 2012 & 31 December 2012
12813724 Metric Tonnes CO2

 
c) What has been the impact on your company&s profitability of the EU ETS?
Not significant up to the end of 2007. BP&s installations within the remit of the EU ETS do not represent a large percentage of BP&s total GHG emissions. BP has consistently sought to transparently disclose information on the potential regulatory impacts of climate change relevant to our business in our Form 20F submission, which is filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. This annual disclosure provides information for investors on business risks related to Climate Change, the Kyoto Protocol and emissions trading.

 
ii) What is your company's strategy for trading or participating in regional and/or international trading schemes (eg: EU ETS, RGGI, CCX) and Kyoto mechanisms such as CDM and JI projects? Explain your involvement for each of the following:

EU ETS
In the EU, home to the EU ETS, BP manages its emissions trading activities in a fully integrated way. We have a trading desk within our Integrated Supply and Trading operation which brings together environmental, technical and business professionals with experience in the oil, gas and power markets. Processes have been devised to ensure our participating sites comply with the EU ETS in the most effective manner. Our purchase or sale of allowances in EU ETS will depend on the relative economics of allowances and internal emissions reduction projects

 
CDM/JI
BP is supportive of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and Joint Implementation (JI) projects of the Kyoto Protocol. BP is an investor in the World Bank Prototype Carbon Fund (PCF), whose early, pre-ratification, development activities have created a foundation for today's growing CDM/JI market. BP's own CDM activity is increasing, consistent with our growing businesses in alternative energy and natural gas.

 
CCX
No direct involvement

 
RGGI
No direct involvement

 
Others

 
Would you like to provide any additional information relating to this question that you have not provided elsewhere?
Yes 
Phase I allowances and emissions are based on the portfolio of installations as of 31st December 2007. A number of UKCS oil & gas production facilities participated in the UK ETS during 2005 and 2006 and were temporarily excluded from the EU ETS. These were then included in 2007.

Phase II allowances are based on the portfolio of installations as of 1st June 2008 and are regarded as provisional until confirmed in the CITL.

 
Question 2(h) Energy Costs
i) Please identify the total costs in US $ of your energy consumption eg from fossil fuels and electric power.

If you want to enter a number less than 1, please ensure you use a decimal point (e.g. 0.3) and NOT a comma (e.g. 0,3)
6000000000 US$

 
ii) What percentage of your total operating costs does this represent?

 
iii) What percentage of energy costs are incurred on energy from renewable sources?

 
More details
BP, in common with other petroleum companies, uses part of the oil and gas it extracts to generate power and heat for its operations, and as such does not pay directly for fossil fuels or electric power generated directly by the facility. Some of BP&s facilities do purchase electricity from the local grid. Annually we calculate how much primary energy we use in our operations (i.e. based on the energy content of fuel used, whether directly generated or purchased).

In 2007 our total primary energy consumption & the amount of energy used to complete our operations & was approximately 1.03 billion GJ, the same as in 2006. The cost of energy continues to vary considerably, but a conservative estimate of the value of this amount of energy in 2007 would be around $6 billion.

Energy consumption and cost are estimated using a control boundary rather than the equity boundary used for GHG emissions.

 
Would you like to provide any additional information relating to this question that you have not provided elsewhere?
No 

 
3 - Performance
Question 3(a) Reduction Plans
i) Does your company have a GHG emissions reduction plan in place? If so, please provide details along with the information requested below. If there is currently no plan in place, please explain why.
Yes, we have a reduction plan in place. (Please proceed to part (ii) ) 

 
ii) What is the baseline year for the emissions reduction plan?
2001

 
If you want to give further information or describe a rolling target, please do so here.

 
iii) What are the emissions reduction targets and over what period do those targets extend?
In 2002 we established a target that any increase in emissions from our operations will be less than the benefits attributable to our low carbon business activities in the decade to 2012

 
iv) What activities are you undertaking to reduce your emissions eg: renewable energy, energy efficiency, process modifications, offsets, sequestration etc? What targets have you set for each and over what timescales do they extend?
- Operational energy efficiency and reduction in flaring
- Investment in low carbon fossil fuels (eg. natural gas)
- Investment in low carbon power sources (eg. wind, solar, high efficiency gas fired power generation, integrated carbon capture and storage power generation)
- Investment in biofuels

 
v) What investment has been or will be required to achieve the targets and over what time period?
Investment in low carbon energy sources is anticipated to exceed $8 bn by 2015. Investment in operational energy efficiency and flare reduction is anticipated to total $450 m by 2010.


 
vi) What emissions reductions and associated costs or savings have been achieved to date as a result of the plan?
Our current energy efficiency programme follows a successful initiative in which we reduced our GHG emissions to 10% below their 1990 levels between 1998 and 2001.

We estimate that, since BP began focusing on its internal greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions performance in 1998, more than $2 billion of net present value has been created from reduced procurement of energy and increased production sales of gas formerly used, flared or vented within our operations.

In the five years to 2006 BP estimates that it delivered 6 Mte of further sustainable reductions.

Based on current plans we are on track to deliver the 24 Mte/yr of emission reductions by 2015 attributable to our low carbon business activities which we forecast at their launch in 2005

 
Would you like to provide any additional information relating to this question that you have not provided elsewhere?
No 

 
Question 3(b) Emissions Intensity
i) What is the most appropriate measurement of emissions intensity for your company?
Metric tonnes of CO2-e per tonne output  

 
Please give your company&s emissions intensity figure for the measurement given above.

If you want to enter a number less than 1, please ensure you use a decimal point (e.g. 0.3) and NOT a comma (e.g. 0,3)

 
ii) Please state your GHG emissions intensity in terms of total tonnes of CO2-e reported under Scope 1 and Scope 2 per US $m turnover and EBITDA for the reporting year.

Scope 1/ US$millions turnover

 
Scope 2/ US$millions turnover

 
Scope 1/ EBITDA

 
Scope 2/ EBITDA

 
iii) Has your company developed emissions intensity targets?
No, we have not developed emission intensity targets for the following reason(s): 
BP uses GHG/te product as an intensity metric for its major operational areas (E&P, R&M and Chemicals) and publishes this data on a business segment basis.

http://www.bp.com/sectiongenericarticle.do?categoryId=9022073&contentId=7042275

It does not report a total intensity metric for all of BP as a single figure because a significant portion of BP total emissions are not amenable to this normalisation.

BP uses the intensity metric as a basis for forecasting emissions, assessing the relative performance of assets across the company and for setting expectations of trend-line improvement in operating performance

 
a) If the answer to part (iii) above is yes, please state your emissions intensity targets

 
b) If the answer to part (iii) above is yes, please state what reductions in emissions intensity have been achieved against targets and over what time period.

 
Would you like to provide any additional information relating to this question that you have not provided elsewhere?
No 

 
Question 3(c) Planning
Do you forecast your company&s future emissions and/or energy use?
Yes, we do. (Please answer questions (i) to (iii) below.) 

 
i) Please provide details of those forecasts, summarize the methodology used and the assumptions made.

If you are able to give quantified forecasts of Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions and/or electricity consumption, you can enter numerical data on the next page.
We have forecasts of both our operational emissions and the magnitude of CO2 reductions that we anticipate from our investments in low carbon energy sources.

We regard these forecasts as proprietary.

 
ii) How do you factor the cost of future emissions into capital expenditure planning?
We increasingly integrate an internal cost of carbon into new investment appraisals, even where it is not yet a matter of regulation.

 
iii) How have these considerations made an impact on your investment decisions?
The internal cost of carbon creates two key impacts:
- Project engineers can use the cost of carbon to optimise their choice of technology for new assets in a rational and economic manner.
- Commercial managers are made more fully aware of the potential impact of carbon price on the viability of an investment.

 
Would you like to provide any additional information relating to this question that you have not provided elsewhere?

4 - Governance
Question 4(a) Responsibility
Does a Board Committee or other executive body have overall responsibility for climate change? If not, please state how overall responsibility for climate change is managed. If so, please answer parts (i) and (ii) below.
Yes, an executive body does have overall responsibility for climate change. 

 
i) Which Board Committee or executive body has overall responsibility for climate change?
As an energy company, BP increasingly regards climate change as an issue increasingly linked with its business and operational plans, rather than as a purely environmental issue. BP therefore believes that its approach to managing climate change should be the same as that used to manage any other important aspect of its business.

The Board believes that the governance of BP is best achieved by the delegation of its authority for executive management to the group chief executive, subject to monitoring by the board and the limitations defined in the board governance principles (attached). These &executive limitations& require that any executive action taken in the course of business takes specific issues into consideration, including health, safety and the environment, risk and internal controls and financing.

The BP board, which is accountable to the company&s shareholders, reviews BP&s progress in addressing climate change primarily through the board&s Safety, Environment and Ethics Assurance Committee, which is composed entirely of independent non-executive directors.

 
ii) What is the mechanism by which the Board or other executive body reviews the company&s progress and status regarding climate change?
The Group Chief Executive, Tony Hayward, describes to the Board in the annual business plan how the strategy is to be delivered, together with an assessment of the group&s risks. During the year, the board monitors progress and keeps the strategy under regular review. The Group Chief Executive is obliged to review and discuss with the board all strategic projects or developments and all material matters currently or prospectively affecting the company and its performance.

The Group Chief Executive has management control over BP&s strategy for climate change. He is actively involved with climate change issues; for instance, he has made speeches on climate change (see attached file) setting out his thinking

Accountability for specific activities are delegated by the Group Chief Executive to executives with authority to manage resources within BP, who in turn delegate further accountability to other authorised senior managers within the organisation.

Question 4(b) Individual Performance
Do you assess or provide incentive mechanisms for individual management of climate change issues including attainment of GHG targets? If so, please provide details.
Yes, we do. 
BP's progress in managing GHG emissions, BP's exposure to carbon pricing and the development of low carbon businesses are recognised as increasingly important elements of BP's overall business performance. As such they form part of the remuneration basis of management.


 
Would you like to provide any additional information relating to this question that you have not provided elsewhere?

 
Question 4(c) Communications
Please indicate whether you publish information about the risks and opportunities presented to your company by climate change, details of your GHG emissions and plans to reduce emissions through any of the following communications:

i) the company&s Annual Report or other statutory filings
Yes 
Our 2007 Annual Report (attached) contains the following:
- Absolute greenhouse gas emissions (page 6)
- Climate change related risks (page 9)
- Alternative Energy business (page 37)
- Technology (page 39)
- Climate change regulations (page 42)


 
ii) formal communications with shareholders or external parties
Yes 
BP provides input, both formal and informal, to shareholders - for example in a strategy presentation to analysts which contained significant detail on our Alternative Energy business in 2008 (attached)

 
iii) voluntary communications such as Corporate Social Responsibility reporting
Yes 
BP publishes a Sustainability Review and a longer Sustainability Report (attached) - both contain significant material on BP's response to climate change:- operational, development of low carbon business and policy.

Question 4(d) Public Policy
Do you engage with policymakers on possible responses to climate change including taxation, regulation and carbon trading? If so, please provide details.
Yes 
BP has provided a constructive business voice on climate policy for over a decade. In 2007, examples of this were:
- Provided expert input to the European Commission
- Responded to formal calls for input from various governments
