California

bp supports hundreds of California communities with more than 700 ampm convenience stores, along with 15 TravelCenters of America (TA) locations statewide. 

Independently and through its joint ventures, bp owns operating facilities in California and several other states that capture methane from waste and farm manure to produce renewable natural gas (RNG) and electricity. Since acquiring Houston-based Archaea Energy in late 2022, bp is the largest RNG producer in the US.

bp has provided RNG to Clean Energy's California sites since 2012 and nationwide since 2017. 

The US headquarters for Lightsource bp, a bp-owned business that develops and operates solar and battery storage assets, is located in San Francisco.

Our Theta joint venture owns a 16.5 megawatt California solar farm, that generates enough electricity to power 2,600 homes each year. 

With offices in Mountain View, bp pulse, our EV charging business, operates more than 20 public EV charging sites and serves a wide range of fleet customers in the transit, last-mile delivery and goods movement spaces. 

bp pulse is working with the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System to manage its growing electric bus fleet, and helping the Anaheim Transportation Network create California’s first all-electric bus fleet by 2025. It has also announced plans to open an ultra-fast bp pulse Gigahub at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). 

In July 2024, bp pulse and TA broke ground on one of the nation’s first publicly accessible medium- and heavy-duty truck charging stations in Ontario, California. 

Our Biosciences Center (BSC) is bp’s hub for bioscience research and innovation. The focus of the BSC is on the development of integrated technology solutions to advance bp’s bioenergy strategy, and on providing scientific and engineering support to bp’s refineries and bp Bunge Bioenergia.
