Equinor launches new plan to cut emissions in Norway to near zero by 2050

Norwegian oil and gas company Equinor has launched new climate ambitions to reduce the absolute greenhouse gas emissions from its operated offshore fields and onshore plants in Norway with 40% by 2030, 70% by 2040, and to near zero by 2050.

By 2030 this implies annual cuts of more than 5 million tonnes, corresponding to around 10% of Norway’s total CO2 emissions, Equinor said on Monday announcing its plans.
