Our country: 0.23 per cent of Equinor’s production is renewable

Although the renewable percentage is low, it has almost tripled since 2018, when the company changed its name from Statoil to Equinor.

Oil expert Arne Ingar Svendby has calculated how much the group contributes from renewable energy. He has extracted figures from press releases and done a simple calculation, writes newspaper.

While energy from oil and gas is stated in oil equivalents, renewable energy is stated in terawatt hours. In order to be able to compare the two sizes, Svendby has converted oil equivalents into terawatt hours, using a model from the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate.

He found that Equinor’s recent quarterly report shows a production of 336 terawatt-hours of energy from oil and gas, and only 0.774 terawatt-hours from renewable energy. This brings the renewable percentage to 0.23 for the first quarter.

– This is a tragic and ridiculously low renewable percentage. It shows that Equinor is just as oil black as Statoil was, believes Greenpeace leader Frode Pleym.

Press spokesman Magnus Frantzen Eidsvold for renewable energy in Equinor writes to the newspaper that they too are impatient in the face of the climate challenge.

– Renewable energy production is still low, but at the same time it has increased by 35 per cent from the first quarter of last year to the first quarter of this year, Eidsvold points out.

He says that Equinor looks to be able to get a 50 percent increase in renewable energy this year compared to the previous year. This means that the group might end up with a renewable share of 0.23 per cent for the whole of 2024.

The Food Department of Punjab says that the wheat procurement policy has not been found yet, how to buy wheat, the conditions and weather are not suitable for wheat procurement, the ministerial committee will announce the policy in a couple of days. On the other hand, in Obaro tehsil of Ghotki, farmers came to the streets due to non-purchase of wheat and non-payment of bardana.

The Food Department of Punjab says that it has not yet given a wheat purchase policy, nor bought it. We already have 23 lakh tonnes of wheat in our godowns. The three-member ministerial committee will announce the wheat procurement policy in a day or two.

According to the food department, wheat will be purchased from the online applications first. Another option involves cash assistance through Kisan Card. Out of four lakh, 1 lakh 39 thousand applications were approved.

Officials say that the current financial conditions and weather are not favorable for buying wheat. It is surprising that in the past farmers used to fight over wheat purchase, today even when open permission has been given, farmers are still worried.

Officials of the Food Department say that the real issue is that the mafias are not getting the smuggling routes, the interest of the small farmer is the first priority.
