Renewable Energy in Oil and Gas Market Overview
Global power generation is shifting to renewable sources at the expense of fossil fuels. Oil and gas players have pledged considerable investments in renewable energy projects and will improve their rankings over the decade. Renewable energy accounted for around 31% of the global energy mix in 2022. The bulk of this renewable energy is obtained from hydropower. Besides, the deployment of wind and solar power is gaining momentum in the recent years. This growth has largely come at the expense of coal—a high-carbon-emitting fossil fuel. Meanwhile, the other two major fossil fuel crude oil and natural gas, saw their collective share of the global energy mix fall from around 26% to 23% by 2022.
The renewable energy in oil and gas thematic intelligence report highlights the growing importance of renewable energy in the global energy mix and reviews involvement of oil and gas players in this space. It provides an overview of the competitive positions held by oil and gas players in the renewable energy theme. The report identifies the various trends influencing the renewable energy theme.

Renewable Energy Sources
The key renewable energy sources are solar power, wind power, hydropower, geothermal power, tidal power, and biofuels. The energy transition has gained global momentum due to increased awareness regarding the impact of emissions from fossil fuel-based sources on climate change. Several governments and business entities are therefore relying on renewables for their energy transition efforts and achieving net-zero targets. Even when renewable power does not generate emissions, its productivity is linked to resource availability and intensity, which can vary depending on location.
Solar Power: Solar energy formed about 15.7% of the total renewable power generated in 2022. Solar energy is abundantly available, especially across the equatorial, tropical, and subtropical regions. This energy can be harnessed to generate electrical energy which can be utilized locally or connected to a power grid for fulfilling electricity demands. The most prominent methods to harness solar energy are solar photovoltaic (PV), solar thermal, and solar concentrator photovoltaics.

Renewable Energy in Oil and Gas Industry Analysis
Transitioning to renewable energy seems like a logical path for oil majors due to growing pressures to decarbonize. The oil and gas industry can leverage its decade-long expertise in offshore operations, refining, retailing, and other such operations to strongly position itself in the renewables energy market. Although, 60% of the global power mix comes from fossil fuels, several countries are taking steps to decarbonize their economies, the global power generation shares are expected to realign with the fall of fossil fuels. The power produced by renewable energy sources is expected to surpass the power produced by fossil fuels by 2034. Total global power generation was 25.6PWh in 2020 and it is expected to reach 34.9PWh in 2030 at a 10-year CAGR of more than 3%.
