BP Plans to Sell Archaea Renewable Natural Gas Unit
BP said it is planning to sell Archaea, which captures and sells gas from landfills and dairy farms, just four years after buying it for $4.1 billion. The move streamlines operations to improve lagging financial performance, though BP has written down Archaea’s value. CEO Meg O’Neill is also accelerating a pivot away from BP’s 2020 climate plan amid a Q2 profit surge.
