# Green Gas Station BPs Helios House By Alex Covert | Published 2007-07-21 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-gas-station-bps-helios-house References: [coolhunting](http://www.coolhunting.com/archives/2007/07/eco_gas_station.php) & [bp](http://www.bp.com/sectiongenericarticle.do?categoryId=2223&contentId=7028330) BP has made an unprecedented move by renovating the [gas station](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/indigenousowned-gas-retailer) at the corner of Olympic and Robertson in Los Angeles. This trend is toward a more environmentally conscience gas-pumping facility. The place is made of [recycled and non-toxic materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amazon-bus-station), collects rainwater to nourish on-site vegetation, and uses [solar panels to power](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allelectric-stadium) some of the electronic devices. At the very least, it just looks more appealing. I think this is the first of many redesigned filling stations. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Eco-friendly Gas Stations:** Renovating gas stations to be more environmentally friendly using renewable technologies and materials. - **Sustainable Architecture:** Reusing/recycling materials while incorporating green technologies to reduce environmental impact. - **Green Energy Usage:** Incorporating solar or other renewable energies to power devices and operations at gas stations. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Oil and Gas:** The oil and gas industry can explore renewable energy sources to power operations and materials for gas stations. - **Architecture and Design:** Companies can redesign gas stations to be more environmentally friendly and energy-efficient, while still looking aesthetically pleasing. - **Technology and Energy:** Tech companies can innovate renewable technology solutions to power gas stations and their operations using green energy sources. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Portable Hydrogen Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyper-fuel.md) - [Collaboration EV Station Rollouts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bp-and-hertz.md) - [Convenience Store Charging Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recharge-by-gelsons.md) - [Marina Hydrogen Refuelling Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/refuelling-station.md) - [Grocery Store Charging Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bp-pulse-charging-hub.md) - [Eco EV Charging Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retail-and-electric-vehicle-charging-station.md) - [Grocer EV Charging Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recharge-stores.md) - [Future-Proof Fueling Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gasboy-atlasx-series.md) - [Scalable EV Charging Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epit-ultra-fast-charging-station.md)
