• To manage investments in low carbon, many oil & gas companies have created
new “Energy Ventures” organizations
• Management of low carbon ventures is often “at arms-length” that reflects the
characteristics of the low carbon portfolio:
• Emerging technologies and business areas where business models and
technologies are not yet mature
• Non-traditional capability requirements with limited synergy potential with
core oil & gas business
• Whilst growing, investments to date in new projects outside of core oil & gas are
