..has said that “the hysteria” engulfing European energy markets is driven by insufficient investment in to energy industries, arguing that the world needs a smoother transition to green energy .
I 100 % agree with this statement and we can see the affects of this under investment and 'fear of the fear' of looking bad investing in to fossil fuels coming to fruition. Brent is touching 83 $ an rising. Gas ~300 pence per therm. That is the equivalent of 230$ Barrel of Oil.
I would go on to add that in the long run oil majors have to compete on cost and decarbonisation during this transition. CCUS allows to optimise geological stores, monetise on national resources and access reservoirs in a more sustainable way.
We need majors with the skills and know how to put this all in to practise. This is something that the Humber region, and West Newton, has to offer with the infrastructure and big plans in place in a sustainable way.
