With Europe’s 2050 Climate-Neutral Goals, Consider these Five Gas Stocks

By 2050, the European Union (EU) wants to be climate-neutral. In an effort to help, natural gas companies like CanCambria Energy Corp. (TSXV: CCEC) are contributing to the goal by developing and providing sustainable natural gas solutions, reducing import dependence and supporting Europe’s climate net neutrality goals.

In fact, it’s one of the reasons the Continental Europe Energy Council just invited the company to join the association. As noted by CanCambria CEO Dr. Paul Clarke, “As our team at CanCambria works toward supporting European energy stability and sustainability, it is fantastic to be part of a broader organization with the same mission and purpose. This membership enables CanCambria to expand its reach in the region, both for key networking potential and future joint venture opportunities.”

Making CanCambria Energy even more attractive, we have to consider that, “When replacing solid fossil fuels, natural gas and other gaseous fuels such as bio-methane and decarbonized gases can reduce emissions significantly with well-known and proven technologies and costs not hampering the EU competitiveness. Natural gas can curtail greenhouse gas emissions (60% less CO2 than coal) but also of dusts and other pollutants such as NOx and SOx (up to 99% less than coal),” as noted by Euracitv.com. All of which creates even more opportunity for gas companies, such as CanCambria Energy.

Other than CanCambria, some of the other top gas companies to keep an eye on include BP (NYSE: BP), Chevron (NYSE: CVX), EOG Resources (NYSE: BP) and Vermilion Energy (NYSE: VET).

BP’s CEO Murray Auchincloss just noted, “In February, we announced a fundamental reset of our strategy - to grow the upstream, focus the downstream and invest with discipline in the transition - and we have already made significant progress. So far this year we have started up three major projects, made six exploration discoveries and have progressed our divestment programme - all while delivering strong operational performance, with over 95% upstream plant reliability supporting the best operating efficiency on record, and over 96% refining availability. We continue to monitor market volatility and changes and remain focused on moving at pace. I’m confident that our plans to strengthen the balance sheet, reduce costs, and improve cash flow and returns will grow long-term shareholder value and strengthen the resilience of bp.”

EOG holds 100 percent equity and operatorship and, in coordination with Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), will explore and appraise unconventional oil in the concession area.
