EVOL: A bird, a wing and a prayer

As concerns mount over the winter’s energy crisis, Shell has opted to move forwards with its Jackdaw project in the North Sea – even while Greenpeace files a case against the plan. Who knows who will prevail, but the mood music around domestic hydrocarbon production is much more positive now than it was.  

Damon drills into the changing energy mix in Asia, which is shifting towards a mix of coal and renewables, while largely avoiding high-priced gas. CCS is going to play a role in capturing some emissions, but it may prove a tricky road to achieve a Paris-compliant 2050 target.  

Finally, South Africa’s government has flagged proposed changes to its power sector and, finally, making all the right noises. Liberalisation seems to be the name of the game but there are sceptics around, not least expressing concerns about the same old ANC hands continuing to oversee this new programme.
