RE: RNS appeal SCC can not block this now, it will go to central Goverment for approval17 Dec 2020 08:32
Great statements and XR rebels need to actually read what UKOG are trying to do inline with the gov's green energy deal.
Maybe they'll partner with Toyota to promote Hydrogen cell zero emission cars.
"At both the 29 June and 27 November 2020 SCC planning committee meetings, UKOG also highlighted the role that a successful Loxley gas project would play in the government's low-carbon hydrogen policy, in which natural gas is reformed into clean burning hydrogen, with an envisaged 85% saving in related carbon emissions. Domestic gas has approximately a quarter of the carbon emissions of imported liquefied natural gas.
The importance of such domestic gas as part of the net zero transition was further underscored by this week's Written Ministerial Statement and Energy White Paper, in which it was acknowledged: "The UK's domestic oil and gas industry has a critical role in maintaining the country's energy security and is a major contributor to the economy".
It continued: "The projections for demand for oil and gas, though much reduced, is forecast to continue for decades to come", adding: "We will therefore make sure the natural gas markets and networks evolve in a way which enables continued investment and ensure secure supplies but also promotes the use of low-carbon options (i.e. hydrogen), wherever possible". The government also reaffirmed its position that low-carbon hydrogen would be required as part of the transition to net zero."
