BP Fined for Double-Counting Credits under OR Clean Fuels Program

BP Products North America recently paid a $205,800 fine for the inaccurate reporting of renewable fuel volumes under the Oregon Clean Fuels Program that generated 11,821 illegitimate credits. The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) said BP double-counted the same volumes of imported renewable fuel to both Oregon and California.

BP also failed to report fuel that was exported out of Oregon by barge. The DEQ also cited BP, without financial penalty, for other reporting violations under the Clean Fuels Program and the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program. The company corrected these errors and also retired legitimate credits to replace the illegitimate credits that were reported.
