New emissions guidance for oil and gas projects

The UK government releases new emissions guidance for oil and gas projects following a Supreme Court ruling. Operators now need to consider emissions from burning oil and gas in their assessments for new applications. This move will affect projects like Rosebank and Jackdaw in Scotland, prompting scrutiny of downstream emissions from fossil fuels. Climate campaigners emphasize the environmental impact of such developments and call for a shift towards renewable energy sources for long-term sustainability.
