It is very disappointing that Equinor has slowed its transition towards renewable energy. Statoil changed its name to Equinor in 2018, and the mandate issued to Anders Opedal when he became CEO in 2020 was to "accelerate Equinor's development as a broad energy company". However, five years into this period, Opedal has hit the brakes: Equinor has reduced its target for developing renewable energy by 2030 from 12-16 GW to 10-12 GW, and has removed its ambition for at least half of the investments to go toward renewable and low-carbon solutions, and has cut several climate targets for 2030 and beyond. A review of Equinor's energy production, emissions and investments since the name change in 2018 shows that renewable energy remains merely a supplemental activity for the company. Plans for further investments also lack indications that Equinor will become a driving force in the global energy transition in the foreseeable future. In 2024, renewable energy accounted for only 0.6 per cent of Equinor's overall energy production. Renewables will therefore remain a "junior contributor" to the company's energy mix for the foreseeable future. In 2024, investment in oil and gas was 5 times higher than investment in renewable energy. Oil and gas production is expected to increase until 2030. Should Equinor reach its ambitions for both renewable and fossil energy, the share of renewables in the overall energy production will only amount to between 2.5 and 4.3 per cent in 2030. The legacy from the Statoil structure and culture is clearly too dominant for renewable energy to attain the necessary focus and priority in Equinor. The renewables part of the company should therefore be spun off from Equinor and established as a separate limited liability company that is adequately funded for large-scale production of renewable energy – in Norway and globally. Splitting the company will reduce the internal competition for competence and capital and give the renewables company the opportunity to grow in competition with other renewables companies - and not in competition with the fossil part of Equinor. Despite its vast investment muscles, Equinor has chosen not to be a major player in the renewable future. Equinor produces less renewable power than players such as Nord-Trøndelag Elektrisitetsverk and Lyse Energi, which tells us that Equinor's priorities are rooted in fossil fuels. Unfortunately, this is the case for most oil and gas companies. A mapping published in Nature Sustainability shows that the world's 250 largest oil and gas companies own 1.42 per cent of the renewables capacity in operation on a global scale. About 54 per cent of this ownership originates from acquiring other companies, rather than their own developments. Oil and gas companies have the greatest ownership in geothermal energy (6.96 per cent) and offshore wind (5.24 per cent). This tells us that we must temper our expectations for oil and gas companies – including Equinor - to lead the world in a renewable and emission-free direction. This is why the time is ripe for Equinor to be split into one separate company for oil and gas and one for renewable energy. This proposal is based on Equinor's corporate social responsibility in a generational perspective. This will bolster Equinor's contribution toward a low-emission society in 2050 for the benefit of future generations.
