This paper focuses on the adaptation strategies of two major EU natural gas suppliers – Gazprom and Equinor – to new challenges imposed by the clean energy transition. Oil and gas companies around the world have already started to adjust their business strategies, inter alia, by investing in renewable energy. The recently proposed European Green Deal adds additional decarbonisation pressure to the gas sector with the increasing supply of renewable and low-carbon gases and the reduction of energy-related methane emissions.
