Equinor ASA
Equinor demonstrates high transparency but face strategic headwinds in its transition journey. While the group maintains industry-leading upstream carbon intensity (6.2 kg CO2/boe) and has increased its internal carbon price to 2/tonne, its 2025 decision to reduce planned renewables investment by 50% and retire its 50% transition Capex goal reflects a significant rephasing of its climate ambitions. The group’s maturity is anchored by its advanced CCS projects (Northern Lights) and robust TCFD-aligned risk modeling, though its financial commitment to the energy transition has softened compared to previous cycles.
