How Big Oil Is Investing in the Energy Transition
The oil and gas sector invested $33.4 billion in the energy transition last year. Yet while this figure suggests that decarbonization is a serious consideration for some fossil-fuel majors, just seven companies accounted for 85% of the sector's low-carbon spend in 2024, and only 13 of 41 companies assessed raised low-carbon investment as a share of capex. So what are the different strategies oil and gas companies are pursuing when it comes to the energy transition? And why would a fossil-fuel company invest in clean tech in the first place? On today's show, Tom Rowlands-Rees is joined by Claudio Lubis, an associate from BNEF's downstream oil and chemicals team, to discuss findings from his note 'Oil and Gas Energy Transition 2024: Clean Capex Jumps.'
