BP Renewable Diesel Feedstock Analysis

Project Description

BP Renewable Diesel Feedstock Analysis — Due to a rising demand in energy, pursuing renewables as an alternative fuel source is of great interest. This team evaluated the current diesel fuel system at BP’s Cherry Point refinery and determined an opportunity for additional capacity. Through an intensive analysis of various bio-feedstocks, our team has determined the most viable option to accommodate BP’s goal to be carbon net zero by 2050.
