The initiative gathers 10 of the largest oil and gas companies, which together represent more than 25% of the global production. The main objective of the OGCI (a group led by the CEOs of BP, Petrobras, CNPC, Eni, Pemex, Repsol, Saudi Aramco, Shell, Statoil and Total) is leading the industry response to climate change.
The commitment provided by OGCI Climate Investments, the initiative’s investment arm, to support the development, deployment and expansion of low-emission technologies is US$1 billion over the next 10 years, with the disbursement distributed equally among all OGCI members during this period.
