Welcome

Working together, two global leaders are creating the next generation of biofuels.

DuPont and BP have created a partnership. By working together we are creating a brighter future for renewable fuels. Since 2003, our two companies have been developing advanced biofuels with properties that can help overcome the limitations of existing biofuels. The strategy is to deliver advanced biofuels that will provide improved options for expanding energy supplies and accelerate the move to renewable transportation fuels, which lower overall greenhouse gas emissions. Our first product - biobutanol - will be introduced by the end of 2007. This is just the beginning.

"Delivering solutions that reduce the world's reliance on fossil fuels is a global imperative. Biobutanol holds tremendous potential for delivering solutions in the near term."
- Charles O. Holliday, Jr., DuPont Chairman & Chief Executive Officer

"The world needs new technologies to maintain adequate supplies of energy for the future. We believe bioscience can bring immense benefits to the energy sector."
- Lord Browne, BP group chief executive
