BP Gas Project Threatens Unique African Biodiversity Hotspot
Despite pledges to improve its environmental record, the company is planning to dig the deepest natural gas field to date in Africa, right beside what experts believe is the largest coldwater coral reef in the world.The project will be a natural gas field 2.7 kilometers (approximately 1.7 miles) beneath the ocean,located off the coast of Senegal and Mauritania. This project is not only a complete denial of BP's claim for limiting carbon pollution but also threatens a unique marine ecosystem. https://www.ecowatch.com/bp-gas-project-africa-biodiversity-2653507418.html

These kind of projects are a climate/environmental and probably even an economic disaster and need to be stopped. Please reconsider BP

Maybe I will be dead by 2050. We have to speed up the climate action now - We Don’t Have Time. I believe the only way to do that, is by ”pricing” - Doing right should be cheap and doing wrong should be expensive.

Thank you for your message. You can find our response on this subject on our website: https://www.bp.com/en/global/corporate/news-and-insights/bp-response-to-articles-on-greater-tortue-ahmeyim.html . I’ve copied below for you for ease: Our Greater Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) Phase 1 LNG project offshore Mauritania and Senegal is fully accounted for in our net zero ambition, and is aligned with our biodiversity position. We can reach net zero by 2050 or sooner and help Mauritania and Senegal produce these resources. We want to help conserve the marine ecosystem in Mauritania and Senegal, including through our work with scientists to develop a biodiversity action plan and our ongoing engagement with fishing communities. Gas production can play an important role displacing other more carbon intensive fuels, and by bringing positive benefits to Mauritania and Senegal through domestic energy supply and revenue generation.

This response that you have copied here is a standard collection of 'reassurances' We are in decade of action. We better be changing our energy mix to 100% renewables now & not to 'comparatively' less carbon intensive fossil gas.

“Our Greater Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) Phase 1 LNG project offshore Mauritania and Senegal is fully accounted for in our net zero ambition, and is aligned with our biodiversity position.” How? How can an LNG project be in line with net-zero? Promising to offset emissions when there is no guarantee of a forest reaching maturity to store those emissions, or having the operation powered by 100% renewable energy doesn’t offset the amount of warming the GHGs released by the project, and downstream in the supply chain, can stay in the atmosphere for decades. The net-zero option is to not extract more LNG. If BP wants to cash in it should start building onshore and offshore turbines and solar panels along with battery storage. That is the future, not more LNG extracted from the developing world where the company will pay few taxes and environmental laws aren’t as robust as in other countries.

Will BP build infrastructure/energy-sources that replaces the need to use the natural gas in those countries? Or is it again something, that some one else has to pick up, somewhere in the future? Lowering emitting a lot of methane and CO2 we don't want, because less coal, in the atmosphere isn't that,

Dear Jacqueline Marchelli Thank you for getting your climate warning to level 2! We have reached out to bp and asked for a response. I will keep you updated on any progress! /Adam We Don't Have Time

Enraging to see big companies like BP abusing the fact that countries like Mauritania and Senegal don't have the resources to say no or are too corrupted.

The fossil corruption & politicians are failing our hopes, scientists & our environment.
