Oil companies increase investments in green energy, how do we benefit from?

The world's largest oil companies are finalizing more acquisitions in the field of green energy, as increasingly stringent anti-pollution standards require ever better diversification of the fuel business. Because of this, other reasons, growth in green technologies is accelerating at an ever-increasing pace.

The number of acquisitions in 2016. has increased to 44, compared to 2015. the figure has reached only 21.

Amounts that are expected to be invested in clean energy still account for a small fraction of the money being spent on oil projects each year. This shows that big oil corporations are still heavily focused on the petroleum business. For example, Royal Dutch Shell has allocated nearly $ 25 billion this year for capital spending. As long as the focus continues to fall on traditional energy sources, the low prices of green companies give us an excellent opportunity to position themselves early on the Green Market.

Oil companies have invested heavily in solar power projects, and wind power is second, with offshore installations being the most attractive among investors.
