Energy Voice – Out Loud

Cambo conundrum, ‘death knell’ for oil, and the Energy Transition’s missing link

Listen on

Episode notes

On this week’s Energy Voice Out Loud the team kick off discussion with Nicola Sturgeon’s calls for a review of oil and gas licences, including the controversial Cambo project in the West of Shetland. Will there be a U-turn from Boris Johnson or will this political football be kicked into the long grass? 

Hamish Penman then outlines the UN’s latest report into climate change and the unequivocal impact of humankind on the planet. With the world set to miss the 1.5° target set out by the Paris Accords, does oil and gas still fit in the picture? 

Then Ed Reed is calling (all the way from Canada! Isn’t technology wonderful?) to talk us through the latest with ammonia. Hydrogen’s star has shone brightly recently, but can this fuel play another big role to decarbonise industrial sectors as climate pressure persists?

The future of upstream oil and gas development in the North Sea is no longer clear. 

The policy of maximising economic recovery has now been counterbalanced by the UK Government’s 2050 net zero target. But while renewables account for a rapidly growing slice of the energy mix, oil and gas demand continues to grow, on the back of the post-Covid economic boom.

On September 6, Energy Voice will host Future North Sea 2021, a virtual conference that will help you understand the challenges, and answer the questions raised by this tension between energy provision and climate action.

Bringing together experts from across the sector, Future North Sea 2021 will showcase three sessions focusing on Net-Zero Production, Decommissioning, and M&A, all designed to provide your business with the innovative solutions, strategies and products required to thrive in the North Sea of the future.
