It seems fitting that the UK Government chose to round off its 10 Point Plan with a focus on what will fuel the energy transition – cold hard cash.
The deal’s been done and, as the dust settles on the Glasgow Climate Pact, EV Europe editor Allister Thomas and James Close, head of climate change at NatWest Group, dig into the detail.
"I want you to stay angry. I want you to stay frustrated. Channel that anger, harness that frustration, keep pushing harder and harder for more because that's what required to meet this challenge.”
Energy and agriculture: Two industries which may not naturally go hand in hand. But they are critical in meeting society’s needs for food and fuel and both are at a crossroads in tackling carbon emissions.
The stage is set. The (energy-efficient) lights are lit. After nearly a year of delay, the 26th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 26) to the UNFCCC is finally upon us.
After some days contemplating the lack of gongs for Energy Voice at the Scottish Press Awards, normal service resumes, sans Allister and Jackie Bird.
Allister’s back from Glasgow having been ejected from the Scottish Press Awards (what do you mean Jackie Bird hasn’t listened to the Energy Voice podcast?).
Energy Voice Out Loud, under the tender new management of Allister, took a look at the big numbers coming out of OGUK’s big report this week. Imports are rising, it seems, but politics remain a tangled web. Are companies too scared of allegations of greenwashing to make the case for the energy industry?
This week, the team reflects on the shocking and fatal explosion on a Pemex platform in the Gulf of Mexico. Allister asks whether the to-ing and fro-ing in Mexican oil policy could have played a part.

On this week’s Energy Voice Out Loud the team kick off discussion with Nicola Sturgeon’s calls for a review of oil and gas licences, including the controversial Cambo project in the West of Shetland. Will there be a U-turn from Boris Johnson or will this political football be kicked into the long grass?
The energy sector must continue to expand and evolve if key climate targets are to be met. Young people will be key to driving this change, filling tens of thousands of energy roles in the coming decades.
EVOL is on the highway to hydrogen this week with news that the Aberdeen Renewable Energy Group is looking to build fuelling stations across the north of Scotland. It’s an ambitious plan with a lot of enthusiasm behind it, but does it have the wheels?
On this week’s EVOL, we discuss Orcadian Energy chief executive Steve Brown’s climate change tweets that have landed the boss of the London-listed North Sea oil minnow in hot waters.
Chevron’s admission that the CCS leg of its Gorgon LNG project in Australia has been a bit lame could result in fines for the US major. We ask: Should the UK, with its aspirations for carbon capture, be taking careful note, or forging ahead confidently?
On this week’s Energy Voice Out Loud, the team take a look at progress on the Acorn project in Aberdeenshire, racing to become the first operational CCS scheme in the UK.
On this week’s EVOL, we talk about the Pemex “ring of fire” in the Gulf of Mexico, which has raised some serious environmental questions. We then move on to Hamish’s tale of the “mud explosion” in the Caspian, which has the team scratching their heads.
ReconAfrica has been on a tear recently but short sellers have cried foul, raising concerns about the company’s viability. Has it found 120 billion barrels? Or nada? Either way, people on the internet have Opinions and are extremely keen to share them.
