Carbon colonialism, climate checkpoints and Liam Neeson

We get to grips with ‘carbon colonialism’ and ‘green washing’ accusations surrounding Santos’ proposed giant carbon capture and storage (CCS) hub offshore northern Australia in Timorese waters in this week’s Energy Voice Out Loud. 

Meanwhile rumour has it that Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has hired Liam Neeson to enforce IR35 contractor rules and hit the oil companies where it hurts. 

Allister also walks us through a report that finds new oil and gas licensing is not compatible with the UK’s climate commitments and targets set out by the Paris Agreement. This has interesting implications for new fields and the incoming climate checkpoint system in the UK.
