Abstrakty

Artykuł porównuje strategie biznesowe dwóch najważniejszych dostawców gazu ziemnego do Unii Europejskiej - norweskiej firmy Equinor i rosyjskiego Gazpromu. Transformacja energetyczna w kierunku niskoemisyjnego systemu energetycznego oznacza nowe wyzwania dla firm z sektora ropy naftowej i gazu oraz konieczność ograniczanie ich emisyjności, np. przez inwestycje w odnawialne źródła energii. Europejski Zielony Ład jest źródłem dodatkowej presji poprzez promowanie udziału gazu ze źródeł odnawialnych oraz ograniczanie emisji metanu w sektorze energii. (abstrakt oryginalny)

EN

This paper focuses on the adaptation strategies of two major eu natural gas suppliers - Gazprom and Equinor - to new challenges imposed by the clean energy transition. Oil and gas companies around the world have already started to adjust their business strategies, inter alia, by investing in renewable energy. The recently proposed European Green Deal adds additional decarbonisation pressure to the gas sector with the increasing supply of renewable and low -carbon gases and the reduction of energy-related methane emissions.
