Energy Voice – Out Loud

EVOL: Time to pick up the pace on CCUS – with Ruth Herbert

Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) is the kind of industrial opportunity that comes around once in 200 years, according to the chief of an industry trade association.
Ruth Herbert, CEO of the CCSA, joins the Energy Voice team for this week’s podcast, setting out the jobs opportunity for the UK with CCUS, and why we need to pick up the pace if we don’t want to see investment go overseas instead.
Then Ed and Allister dig in to talk of a UK “super-super grid” and Eni UK’s mooted merger with Ithaca Energy.

EVOL: Cancelled hydrogen, electricity backbone and speed dating

What do Vattenfall, Kate Middleton and Repsol have in common? They all feature in this week’s EVOL.
It’s mixed fortunes for Aberdeen as the city sees a new £9m floating wind test centre opening just days after Vattenfall prematurely culls its HT1 hydrogen development.
It’s big picture stuff for the national grid as a £58bn vision is set out on how to get the system caught up for offshore wind.
And it’s project news at OEUK’s shairfair as the team delve in to updates from Repsol and Equinor, along with a delayed payment warning to the industry.

EVOL: Living the REMA, troubled waters for Paris targets and new frontiers

It’s been a big week for announcements on electricity market reform. Ed explains the implications of government plans to keep unabated gas plants on the grid beyond 2030 and a shift to zonal electricity pricing.
Ryan sifts through a report that finds North Sea nations are largely unaligned with Paris Agreement targets – but the team have some questions over the metrics.
And Andrew surveys some of the emerging frontiers in offshore wind, with some key markets and auctions to watch in 2024.

EVOL: Kwasi, Windfall Tax and Norway

The team start this week with the latest on the tragic crash off Norway. New details from the investigation have emerged, painting a clearer picture of the incident and driving home the risks which offshore workers take in this industry.
Once again the EVOL team is on windfall tax watch as Jeremy Hunt extends the levy to 2029 – the fourth fiscal change in two years. With Labour circling ahead of a general election, how long before we’re back here?
And Ed’s been speaking to Kwasi Kwarteng about his brief stint as chancellor,  his views on the North Sea fiscal regime and the journey to grid up the UK.

EVOL: Helicopter tragedy, Orsted’s rethink and the geoscience crunch

A black day for the offshore industry, with a helicopter disaster in Norway leaving one dead and five injured. Norwegian companies are reliant on the Sikorsky S-92 but is it safe?
Orsted’s interim COO was in London this week, putting a brave face on the company’s challenges. The offshore wind developer has cut back some of its more ambitious targets, but seems determined to press on with major plans. Floating wind may have to wait until the 2030s, though.
And finally, Allister talks us through some of the discussion around geosciences at the recent Future North Sea event. Students and universities are turning away from the discipline, posing tough questions on the UK’s energy plans – both conventional oil and gas but also new hopes in CCS, geothermal and wind.
