Decarbon Daily - Cleantech Capital from O&G

Cleantech Capital Flow from Oil & Gas

Low-carbon energy investment comes from a myriad of sources. The US federal government is funding projects and new technology through the Department of Energy (DOE). The DOE has funded carbon capture projects since 1997 and numerous other renewable and cleantech initiatives. Research grants along with state and local resources are pivitol in early-stage cleantech opportunities. Venture capital, private equity, and project-financing all play a critical role as well.

But what about investments from the traditional oil and gas companies?

According to BloombergNEF, 34 oil and gas companies invested over $12 billion into clean energy. The types of investments include hydrogen, CCUS, EV charging infrastructure, solar, wind, and other renewable cleantech. In 2020, nearly two-thirds of the investment was into solar and wind projects.
