Abstract

The paper summarizes the results of a comparative analysis of the climate strategies of the world’s largest oil and gas companies. It shows that the goal of decarbonization is not only to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but also to increase competitiveness, while their climate policy is implemented taking into account national specifics and may differ significantly depending on the region of presence. In particular, three types of decarbonization are described – European, American and Russian.
