Race to replace Russian gas

The European Union (EU) could replace Russian natural gas with green technologies by 2028, according to a new report. Furthermore, it is estimated that up to 90% of the additional investment required, on top of currently planned European Green Deal spending, could be recouped over the next 30 years by eliminating the need to buy gas.

Wind power first for Britain

Britain’s growing fleet of wind turbines generated more electricity than gas-fired power stations for the first time in the first three months of this year. Meanwhile, two North Sea offshore wind developers are planning to kickstart a route to net zero North Sea oil and gas production, and the UK government has unveiled a proposal to create a ‘treasure map’ showing the potential for North Sea carbon, capture and storage (CCS) projects.
