Lessons Learned From Bp: Deepwater Horizon And The Transition To Renewables, Daniel Valle
Journal of Global Awareness
This paper analyzes the gradual transition of British Petroleum (BP), one of the world's largest oil and gas companies, into a renewable energy company focused on sustainability and the reduction of carbon emissions.

Lessons learned from the disaster, and the subsequent transition conclude the research.
