Building on a culture of innovation to address the transition towards net-zero

“My reasoning is that Energy companies have a tradition to make the impossible possible, across technical disciplines. A field development decision has often been made based on trust – that technical challenged will be possible to overcome during the projects. We now need to channel this energy towards sustainability challenges. I have faith in the industry and hope my presentation will illustrate its positive capabilities and willingness to change. We need the industry – and we need the industry to change.”

Ole Evensen
