In this In Focus column, we report on initiatives that reduce the ecological footprint of the offshore energy and maritime industry. Week after week, we see that those developments have something in common. They share ingredients that make the difference. I am talking about, among others, (cross-market) collaborations, thinking outside the box and the willingness to change.

A good example of the will to change comes from the Italian oil and gas company Eni. They have entered into a three-year partnership with the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) to collaborate in the promotion of renewable energy and accelerate the energy transition, particularly in countries that export fossil fuels.
