In this episode, we examine Equinor’s mergers and acquisitions (M&A) strategy and explore a key question: Can oil and renewables coexist within the company and in Norway’s broader energy landscape?

Per Arne Solend, VP of M&A and Insights at Equinor, joins us. He shares his perspective on how the company navigates fossil fuels and renewables acquisitions. We discuss the rationale behind Equinor’s recent investments, the role of M&A in the energy transition, and how the company balances its legacy oil and gas operations with its push into offshore wind, batteries, and emerging low-carbon technologies.

Co-hosting this episode is Martina Fantini, a PhD researcher at NTNU specializing in sustainable aviation.

Tune in to learn how Equinor makes strategic decisions in a rapidly evolving energy landscape—and what the future might hold for oil, gas, and renewables in a transitioning world.
