BP has formed a partnership with NASA to share their technology and expertise in working in hostile environments, with the aim of advancing human exploration of the moon, Mars, and other planets. The deal will also help BP’s plans to drill for oil and gas on Earth while progressing its goals for reducing emissions. The collaboration involves sharing digital models and simulations that allow engineers and scientists to trial new equipment, which could pave the way for future collaborations on using hydrogen, regenerative fuel cells, high-capacity batteries, solar power systems, small-scale nuclear power systems.
