Additionally, the company assumes an increasing share in the offshore oil and gas industry, which will be used for petrochemical products by 2050.
Looking at the net zero plans, Equinor stated that success would depend on society achieving near zero by 2050. In offshore wind energy, Equinor has made headlines several times just earlier this year.
