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.

Why carbon isn’t totally going away

Even in a net zero economy, we will still need carbon for many vital everyday products. Jennifer Holmgren HonFEI, CEO of LanzaTech, believes we can reduce emissions and create a circular economy by capturing carbon at source. Here she explains how and where sufficient finance may be found to reach commercial scale.

Major CCS project to advance decarbonisation efforts across Texas Gulf Coast

BP and Linde have unveiled plans to advance a major carbon capture and storage (CCS) project in Texas, US, that will enable low carbon hydrogen production at Linde’s existing facilities. The development will also support the storage of CO₂ captured from other industrial facilities – paving the way for large-scale decarbonisation of the Texas Gulf Coast industrial corridor.

European Commission proposes EU electricity market reform

The European Commission (EC) has proposed to reform the European Union’s (EU) electricity market design in order to accelerate a surge in renewables and the phase-out of gas, make consumer bills less dependent on volatile fossil fuel prices, better protect consumers from future price spikes and potential market manipulation, and make the EU’s industry clean and more competitive.
