Japan has big plans to seize advantage of offshore wind, Damon tells us, fresh from Tokyo talks on the topic. There may have been an early misstep, but the weather vane is pointing to a healthy long-term future for the country and its aspirations.
Another country with big plans to change its energy mix is South Africa, where Sasol has lined up projects galore in the green hydrogen and carbon utilisation space. While Care-o-sene may put Ed’s teeth on edge, the sustainable aviation fuel area is gaining increased interest.
One area of perennial interest in the North Sea is the state of the IR35 employment status. As much of the Cabinet’s employment outlook changes, and Liz Truss heads for the door, decisions around contractors and employees continues to be a point of much contention for the oil industry.

In the fourth third episode of our energy storage boxset series, Energy Voice content editor Andrew Dykes is joined by BDO senior audit manager Caroline Ingham and Flexitricity head of commercial Andrew Langlands to discuss aggregators and optimisers.
Aggregators help manage the supply and demand of electricity on the grid by increasing or moderating the consumption of a group of consumers. This helps ensure stability on the grid and helps generate revenue for asset owners. We explore how companies like Flexitricity work, how they can help determine when to discharge and recharge battery storage assets, and what the future of this rapidly evolving segment might look like.
The Megawatt Hour is a special podcast series brought to you by Energy Voice Out Loud in paid partnership with BDO.

Windfall taxes are back, baby! This time it’s green energy in the government’s sights, with proposals to cap generator revenues and sever the link between power and gas prices. Hamish gauges the (less than enthusiastic) reaction from industry.
Andrew reports from the hottest ticket in town, having secured access to this year’s Floating Offshore Wind conference, where the focus was on how to address prices, ports and project pipelines to get turbines in the water.
Finally, Ed takes a look at Nigeria’s production woes and the curious case of a missing 1 million barrels per day…

The energy industry stands at a crossroads of crisis, with war, recession and uncertainty on the future looming. Amid these challenges, there is a chance for societies to rethink how energy can be best used.
The Environmental Defense Fund’s Mark Brownstein drills into the energy trilemma, with host Energy Voice’s Ed Reed.
Tackling gas that is lost – through venting or flaring – should be a top focus, Brownstein argues, as it helps meet existing demand and cuts greenhouse gas emissions.
Looking to the future, the EDF executive makes a forceful case for renewable energy – and hydrogen – as a means to tackle the world’s problems, particularly those areas where electrification rates are low.

Choo-choo! All aboard the inflation train as OPEC+ announces another raft of production cuts. There’s concern about the impact at the petrol pumps – not to mention Joe Biden is raging.
Shell’s outgoing CEO Ben van Beurden has kicked open the windfall tax door this week. So is this a change in social strategy for Shell, an oversight of a comment, or just BvB chucking a grenade in the trench on his way out?
And, taking a cue from our monthly print mag, EV highlights the continued challenges around achieving diversity and inclusion in the offshore energy sector.

Ed, Allister and Hamish try to make sense of what has been a whirlwind few days for the global energy industry. Leaks from Nord Stream 1 and 2 have turned the Baltic Sea into a glass of lemonade. Worryingly, unidentified drone sighting are on the up, as geopolitical tensions heighten.
It may seem like a lifetime ago, but the team react to last week's not-so-mini-budget. Bucking the trend, the North Sea did well out of the Chancellor's announcement with IR35 and project acceleration.
And Allister does his best Eeyore impression, delivering some downbeat findings about the potential for hydrogen to decarbonise domestic heating.

Objecting to the noise and emissions of Foinaven, the good residents of Fairlie have been up in arms – and on the phone to Energy Voice – in protest. While the decommissioning industry may be sad to see it leave for Denmark, the locals are at best divided on its presence.
Egypt has turned out to be a tricky location for M&A this year. One deal has already fallen apart and TransGlobe’s desire to merge with Gabon-focused Vaalco is under fire. Small caps are under pressure, but there are no guarantees that size will solve all problems.
The people chose the name Boaty McBoatface for a larger vessel but scientific sobriety ruled this out, relegating it instead to an autonomous vessel. While the scale is somewhat diminished, Boaty has set off for valuable duty this week, heading off to inspect decommissioned assets in the North Sea.
