BP EQNR SHEL

Economies across the world are gradually transitioning to cleaner energy sources. There has been a steady increase in pressure on energy companies to act on climate change on multiple fronts. Most analysts believe that although renewable energy will meet future energy needs, this will not completely wipe out oil and natural gas demand. Demand for fossil fuels will also grow but at a slower pace.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration (“EIA”), in its Annual Energy Outlook 2023, revealed that renewables will be meeting future power demand at a bigger scale. By 2050, the United States will witness majority of its electricity generation from solar and wind, announced EIA and added that through 2050, the nation will remain a net exporter of petroleum products and natural gas.

Thus, there are abundant opportunities for energy companies with a footprint in oil and gas resources and the renewable energy space. Three such companies are BP plc (BP - Free Report) , Shell plc (SHEL - Free Report) and Equinor ASA (EQNR - Free Report) , each carrying a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Thus, investors should keep an eye on these three energy firms as they are well-poised to gain in the long run.

Shell also has the same ambitious target of becoming a net-zero emissions energy player by 2050 or earlier. By 2030, the integrated energy company plans to lower absolute emissions by 50%.
