Currently, there are large-scale changes in the structure of primary energy consumption in the world, the demand for natural gas is increasing, there is an active development of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) market, the popularity of renewable energy sources (RES) is growing, and there is a trend towards the spread of electric transport. According to many experts, reducing the anthropogenic impact on the climate is impossible without a large-scale reduction in the consumption of fossil fuels. RES demand is expected to grow by about 50 % until 2030 (EIA). The paper presents an analysis of the companies’ strategies at the alternative energy market. The choice of companies for the analysis of strategies was carried out based on the rating of TOP-10 oil companies by capitalization for 2019, according to the result of which the top three oil and gas companies from the rating were selected as objects of research: Saudi Aramco (Saudi Arabia), ExxonMobil (USA), Shell (Great Britain-Holland). The study shows that the introduction of innovations in the energy sector, namely in the field of alternative energy, is currently very important. The use of renewable energy sources in the unstable conditions of the hydrocarbon market will reduce dependence on this market and slow down the onset of the crisis in the energy sector. The leading companies of the Fuel and Energy Complex (FEC) are actively investing in technologies related to the use of renewable energy sources, which suggests that alternative energy is becoming an integral part of the energy balance and deserves serious attention and application of world experience in this area.
