✦AI Summary
BP is shutting down its corporate venture arm after 20 years and selling the majority of its portfolio to private equity firm Verdane. This move follows the company's broader pivot away from clean energy investments.
BP has had an on-again, off-again relationship with climate tech. Now, it’s definitely “off.” On top of pivoting away from clean energy earlier this year, the oil giant announced today that it was selling the majority of its venture portfolio — more than 10 companies, according to BP — to Verdane , a Nordic private equity firm.
