European oil giants retreat from climate commitments

European oil and gas giants are scaling back their clean energy ambitions due to limited growth opportunities and weak market demand. Equinor has scrapped its pledge to invest over 50% of capital in renewables, abandoned Vietnam’s offshore wind sector, and canceled a hydrogen pipeline project to Germany. Similarly, Shell has halted new offshore wind investments and dropped a low-carbon hydrogen plant in Norway, prioritizing profitability over aggressive green energy expansion.
