Equinor Plans to Expand Its Wind Farm Acquisition and Will Continue to Leverage Its Position in Offshore Wind Energy, the Company States in a Press Release Dated November 2.

The leading company in the offshore oil and gas industry – Equinor, states that it has made significant strides in wind energy in recent years, will establish renewable energies as a separate reporting segment starting in the first quarter of 2021, the company said on November 2, as it announced its net zero plans for 2050.

“Equinor has demonstrated for years the ability to meet climate ambitions and has a strong track record of reducing emissions in the offshore oil and gas industry. Now, we are ready to further strengthen our climate ambitions, aiming for net zero by 2050,” said Anders Opedal, who took over as CEO and President of Equinor on November 2.

Equinor Expects to Contribute More to the Offshore Oil and Gas and Wind Energy Industry

In the offshore industry, Equinor expects to deliver an average annual production growth of around three percent from 2019 to 2026, as the company prepares for a gradual decline in global demand for oil and gas expected from around 2030 onwards.

The company also added that it assumes a well-functioning market for carbon capture and storage (CCS) and natural sinks, as well as the development of a hydrogen market. 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.

The construction of Hywind Tampen, the largest floating wind farm in the world and the first to power oil and gas facilities, began in early October in Norway.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

First electric Ferrari emerges with five seats, unconventional design, million-dollar price, and a burning question among fans: genius or betrayal of tradition?

Labubu officially arrives in Brazil in June with prices up to R$ 799.99, attempts to curb the invasion of counterfeits, and turns serrated-tooth dolls into a new craze among collectors.

Luciano Hang, owner of Havan, surprises and announces R$ 100 million to employees with the advance payment of the PPR and 13th salary for more than 23,000 employees during the 40th anniversary of the retailer, which aims to reach 200 megastores in Brazil.

The largest beach in the world is in Brazil and is ‘stealing’ objects: a beach up to 254 km in RS makes rings, keys, and wallets disappear in the sand before reappearing days later in a phenomenon explained by coastal dynamics.

Brazil changes its status and reaches a very high level of human development for the first time, shows IBGE.
