Navigating the North Sea transition
Submitted by digitalfreelancer on Tue, 09/24/2024 - 10:25
The North Sea has been a crucial asset to the UK for decades. It provides oil and gas to meet our own energy needs, and also exports, contributing significantly to our economy.
An independent taskforce in the North Sea is critical to navigating the energy transition, says Shevaun Haviland, Director General of the British Chambers of Commerce.

A balancing act: Oil, gas and energy transition
Submitted by digitalfreelancer on Tue, 09/24/2024 - 09:43
The crucial role of oil and gas in the UK’s energy transition and supply chain cannot be overstated.
Oil and gas are pivotal to the UK’s energy transition, but current policies limit their potential to support net-zero goals. Balancing support for conventional and emerging technologies is essential for a successful transition, says Mahmoud Habboush at EIC

EIC’s first-ever manifesto: A call for an integrated and supported energy supply chain to be recognised
Submitted by digitalfreelancer on Tue, 09/24/2024 - 09:31
EIC has represented energy companies’ interests for more than 80 years.
Despite the evolution of the UK energy sector, the supply chain remains unheard and under-supported, with critical gaps in policy and investment. This is causing significant disruption and missed opportunities for the sector as it transitions to a sustainable and integrated energy future – a reality that EIC’s new manifesto seeks to address, writes Tom Wadlow

Policymakers’ decisions shape the energy sector’s future, but without industry input, policies can hinder innovation and competitiveness. From Brazil’s economic challenges to the UK’s low-carbon tech ambitions, the lack of dialogue with the supply chain poses critical risks. Is the energy supply chain being listened to?

Driving the energy transition
Submitted by digitalfreelancer on Tue, 09/24/2024 - 08:48
Achieving net zero requires more than ambition; it demands a supportive environment for innovation, investment and skilled labour.
The message from EIC members is clear: reaching net-zero targets hinges on having consistent and supportive policies, well-designed financial incentives and a skilled workforce, says Mahmoud Habboush at EIC
