Greenpeace analysed the annual reports of the British fossil fuel giants for 2022, alongside 10 other European companies.
The report compared the amount of renewable electricity generated by the companies with the amount of energy they provide through their own oil and gas production.
Greenpeace accused the oil majors of greenwashing, saying the firms featured offshore wind and solar energy extensively in their annual reports and marketing. For Shell, the analysis found the firm’s reporting showed a “clear misrepresentation” of numbers on its “renewable capacity” for the 2022 financial year, reporting it as 6.4 gigawatts.
“Big oil’s unwillingness to implement real change is a crime against the climate and future generations.” The report said that while the 12 companies have publicly committed to reaching “net zero” by 2050, none have developed a coherent strategy to get there, with the vast majority planning to maintain or even increase their oil and gas production until at least 2030.
He added that governments should agree on a detailed road map to phase out oil and gas across Europe, starting with measures to shift heavily polluting oil and gas sectors like transport.
