Carbon Zero vs Net Carbon Zero 2050
The campaigners seam to think there should be zero oil production to achieve Net Carbon Zero ( tomorrow )
The word “net” is very important.
The agreement to achieve net zero accepts and mitigates there will need to some carbon usage in agriculture and industry and that would be counterbalanced by things that were carbon negative , such as growing trees, or carbon capture.
One of the ways is to make new and existing wells comparable with carbon capture... ( Loxley. )
The planning process does not need to fix something that is being fixed by other government policy ( Planet earth VS Secretary of State ) (Ground 8: the Secretary of State adequately addressed the Net Zero target in the decision letter and was, as a matter of judgment, entitled to rely upon other mechanisms outside the planning system, such as electricity market reform and emissions trading, to control emissions from fossil fuel electricity generation when potential pathways are drawn up to help achieve the Net Zero target, consistently with the policies in EN-1.)
Who was the judge.....Hon. Mr Justice Holgate. ;-)
