Bernard Looney, CEO of BP, spoke about the company’s partnership with Equinor, saying, “This is an important first step in our strategy and in the future transition to becoming an integrated energy company.”
In a statement, BP says it aims to meet the goals of the renewable energy sector. The company also states that it will transition from being an oil company to being part of the energy sector. The group had previously announced that by 2030 it will “multiply by ten” its investments in renewable energy due to carbon emissions. The company’s annual investment will average around $5 million.
