Social Media Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Energy giant BP has reported record annual profits as it scaled back plans to reduce the amount of oil and gas it produces by 2030. The company's profits more than doubled to $27.7bn (£23bn) in 2022, as energy prices soared after Russia invaded Ukraine. Other energy firms have seen similar rises, with Shell reporting record earnings of nearly $40bn last week. It has led to calls for energy firms to pay more tax as people's bills soar. BP boss Bernard Looney said the British company was "helping provide the energy the world needs" while investing the transition to green energy. But it came as the firm scaled back plans to cut carbon emissions by reducing its oil and gas output. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
