“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.
