Let’s keep the lights on when she’s your age. What sort of world will this little girl grow up in? Many experts agree that it will be a considerably more energyhungry one. There are already seven billion people on our planet. And the forecast is that there will be around two billion more by 2050.

We’re making our fuels and lubricants more advanced and more efficient than before. With our partner in Brazil, we’re also producing ethanol, a biofuel made from renewable sugar cane.
