Energy transition has gained global prominence due to increased awareness about the impact of fossil fuel emissions on climate change. Following a global consensus to mitigate carbon emissions, many governments are emphasising the need to pursue cleaner fuels as alternative energy sources.

Oil and gas companies are actively pursuing diverse energy transition approaches, from renewable power to biofuels. Industry leaders, such as BP, TotalEnergies, Shell, ExxonMobil, and Chevron have set themselves net zero emission targets for 2050. Industry players are taking a variety of routes to reduce their carbon footprint. These include carbon capture and storage (CCS), hydrogen production, renewable power generation, electric vehicle (EV) charging, energy storage, and biofuels. Among these, renewable power, especially solar and wind, are the prominent avenues where oil majors are investing.
