BP to offset carbon emissions with Oz deal

European oil giant, BP plc, has agreed to buy up to one million tonnes of carbon reduction units ...

The credits will be generated at Global Renewables' new waste processing plant being built at a cost of $70 million near Sydney. It is being funded by Perth-based GRD and Hastings Funds Management, which is a subsidiary of Westpac Bank.

Last week, Hastings said it would invest $60 million into Global Renewables for a 50 per cent interest. Global is a subsidiary of listed Perth-based company GRD NL.
