A major oil company has reversed a $5 billion clean energy investment and put a $2.35 billion ammonia project under review, signalling a renewed focus on fossil fuels despite investor pressure for greener initiatives.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Your clean energy market just contracted as a major oil player reversed course and shelved big green projects. This reshapes near-term energy demand and funding flows, especially if you build tech or services adjacent to green ammonia or alternatives.
