BP on the back foot amid Greenpeace accusations of methane lobbying ‘hypocrisy’

摘要

BP has sought to downplay allegations that it lobbied the US government to roll back key US methane emission rules, which environmental lobby group Greenpeace claims undermines the energy major’s assertion that it is cleaning up its act on methane. The British oil major responded on Tuesday to allegations from Unearthed, the investigative arm of Greenpeace, that claimed BP “successfully” lobbied the Trump administration to water down rules from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
