However, 13 percent of Shell’s posts focussed specifically on renewable energies such as wind, solar, and hydropower. The company also had the largest share of promos focussing on hydrogen, which made up 11 percent of its total output. Eni, Repsol, and TotalEnergies also all aim to become net zero by 2050.

"As coal is phased out from our generation profile, it will be replaced with zero-carbon resources and prudent investments in cleaner natural gas," Good said, according to a transcript summary of the call. Duke also announced that the utility's 2050 net-zero goals would expand to include Scope 2 and certain Scope 3 emissions.

By 2050, they say, we must reach net-zero emissions, releasing no more carbon than we can pull back out of Earth’s atmosphere. And Oregon’s goals — a 45 percent emissions cut from 1990 levels by 2035 and an 80 percent cut by 2050 — are well short of Washington’s and British Columbia’s targets and what climate scientists advise.
