How can a blender scene be rendered like this?

This is natively supported in Cycles.

  • Set your output resolution at a 2x1 ratio (e.g. 2048x1024).

  • Select the camera.

  • In the properties window, camera tab, select "Panoramic."

  • For "Type" select Equirectangular.

Here's what it looks like for me:
