ConocoPhillips is breaking with its U.S. oil peers by aiming to eliminate carbon emissions from its operations and power providers by the middle of the century.
Taking a page from the book of European rivals already pledged to go net zero, Conoco surprised investors and analysts Monday by outlining plans to will reduce its so-called scope 1 and 2 emissions by as much as 45% by 2030.
