    Controversial #JackdawGasField set to be approved in weeks, sources say

    Simon Jack, 3 September 2026

    "The #UK government is set to give the go-ahead for a controversial new #GasField off the coast of #Aberdeen, the BBC understands.

    "Approval for the Jackdaw project could come in mid-September, just before #Parliament breaks for party conference season, according to government and industry sources.

    "The gas field was approved by the former #ConservativeGovernment in 2022 but was delayed by a legal ruling from a #ScottishCourt, after #EnvironmentalGroups argued consent was given without fully considering the #ClimateImpact.

    "Jackdaw's owner says it will account for 6% of UK gas output when at peak production but environmental groups say it will provide only 2% of UK use when imports are included.

    "Campaigners launched legal challenges after Jackdaw was approved in 2022 and when the #RosebankOilField off #Shetland was given the green light in 2023.

    "The Court of Session in Edinburgh ruled last year that #Rosebank and Jackdaw had been unlawfully approved because the government had failed to take into account the climate impact of burning extracted #OilAndGas from the sites.

    "A judge ruled that more detailed climate assessments had to be published, and further estimates were put out for consultation in July.

    "Both Jackdaw and Rosebank are operated by #Adura, a joint venture between energy giants #ShellOil and Norway's #Equinor. Aberdeen-based firm Ithaca also owns 20% of Rosebank.

    "Adura has estimated that Jackdaw could produce 35.8m tonnes of carbon over its 11-year lifetime, the equivalent of 90% of Scotland's emissions for 2023. But it said a more likely estimate was about 23.6m tonnes - equivalent to 60% of the 2023 figure.

    " #Environmentalists insist that more #drilling would be unconscionable, hampering efforts to cut planet-warming carbon emissions as deadly #heatwaves and #ExtremeWeather affect billions across the globe.

    "They also say starting production would not protect energy security and that transitioning sooner to #GreenerTechnologies would be better for supporting jobs."

  8. Paper released yesterday by the influential think tank #IPPR on #CarbonCapture being a way to make #Rosebank viable.

    But it’s based on science that’s still failing to stack up and very questionable economics.

    Are we to assume this is part of hesitancy from #Burnham to plough ahead with #NorthSea oil and gas? Is he hoping someone can make the argument it’s the ‘green’ thing to do?

    It stinks and needs to be properly called out.

  9. Rolling fields stretch toward the North Sea, where the calm blue water meets a wide horizon under a brilliant blue sky. Near Scarborough in England, the peaceful countryside landscape blends farmland and open grassland with solitary trees and hedgerows. The area offers sweeping coastal views along the rugged edge of the Yorkshire coast, perfect for nature photography on a quiet blue sky day. Close to the scenic walking paths of Scalby Lodge and the surrounding countryside, it embodies the charm of the #NorthSea #CoastalViews #CountrysideLandscape #BlueSkyDay #NaturePhotography.

  16. A pair of long-clawed porcelain crabs (Pisidia longicornis) showing us #couplesgoals. What a handsome couple! The male is the big one, the female the little one. The male has a bigger difference between his claw size than the female.
