==="Go Beyond Oil"===

As part of their stance on [[renewable energy commercialisation]], Greenpeace have launched the "Go Beyond Oil" campaign.<ref name="GoBeyondOil">{{cite web |url=http://www.greenpeace.org.uk/oil |title=Go beyond oil |publisher=Greenpeace.org.uk |access-date=6 June 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131103152843/http://www.greenpeace.org.uk/oil |archive-date=3 November 2013 |url-status=dead}}</ref> The campaign is focused on slowing, and eventually ending, the world's consumption of oil; with activist activities taking place against companies that pursue oil drilling as a venture. Much of the activities of the "Go Beyond Oil" campaign have been focused on drilling for oil in the Arctic and areas affected by the ''[[Deepwater Horizon]]'' disaster. The activities of Greenpeace in the Arctic have mainly involved the Edinburgh-based oil and gas exploration company, [[Cairn Energy]]; and range from protests at the Cairn Energy's headquarters<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.greenpeace.org.uk/blog/climate/paula-bear-wheres-your-spill-response-plan-cairn-20110526 |title=Paula Bear: Where's your spill response plan, Cairn? |publisher=Greenpeace.org.uk |date=29 May 2011 |access-date=6 June 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110529153618/http://www.greenpeace.org.uk/blog/climate/paula-bear-wheres-your-spill-response-plan-cairn-20110526 |archive-date=29 May 2011}}</ref> to scaling their oil rigs in an attempt to halt the drilling process.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.greenpeace.org.uk/blog/climate/update-arctic-pod-48-hours-and-going-strong-20110531 |title=Update from the Arctic pod: 48 hours and going strong! &#124; Greenpeace UK |publisher=Greenpeace.org.uk |access-date=6 June 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110609045410/http://www.greenpeace.org.uk/blog/climate/update-arctic-pod-48-hours-and-going-strong-20110531 |archive-date=9 June 2011}}</ref>

The "Go Beyond Oil" campaign also involves applying political pressure on the governments who allow [[oil exploration]] in their territories; with the group stating that one of the key aims of the "Go Beyond Oil" campaign is to "work to expose the lengths the oil industry is willing to go to squeeze the last barrels out of the ground and put pressure on industry and governments to move beyond oil."<ref name = "GoBeyondOil" />
