In 2015, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) adopted the Paris Agreement by means of which 197 countries agreed to gradually reduce the use of fossil fuels and CO2 emissions to reach net carbon neutrality by 2050. Ecopetrol has put in places several decarbonization Initiatives, including the first crude oil export aiming to reduce its carbon footprint.
On this webinar our panelists discuss Ecopetrol's initiatives to become a net-zero carbon emissions company by 2050.
