BP Bunge Bioenergia, a joint venture between BP PLC and Bunge
Ltd., said Wednesday that it would turn sugarcane-based ethanol
into disinfectant for the Brazilian health-care system to combat
the coronavirus.
The bioenergy producer said the disinfectant would go to the
national health-care system in 32 municipalities, which cares for
more than 1.4 million people, surrounding BP Bunge Bioenergia's 11
operational sites.
"These are challenging times and we need to do what we can to
keep our people safe and to assist the communities where we live
and work," said Mario Lindenhayn, executive chairman of BP Bunge
Bioenergia, in prepared remarks.
