“The California fuel market is very demanding and has strict environmental legislation. This certification is recognition of an important work focused on sustainability that BP Bunge has been developing since its creation, 3 years ago. Furthermore, CARB opens up new business opportunities for us in a very relevant market”, explains Ricardo Carvalho, Commercial and Origination Director at BP Bunge Bioenergia.
