Steering back to £20 , but my thoughts go to current dividend. They cut far to deep last year in really over cautious cut and now need to get it back to circa 25p /quarter… this will be 5% yield @ £20/share . I want to see this recover as fast as their revenues and margins. I expect good news on 28th !

Suppose costs are 10 per cent higher and  benefits 10 per cent lower - what then?A 90 per cent confidence level mans that in under a decade the outcomes are no more certain than the toss of a coin.Also those making them will be long gone before post project evaluation is possible.LikeReplyDavid Chick18 Oct 2021 7:27AMMeteringLikeReplyMutton Jeff18 Oct 2021 7:28AMJust read the COP predictions from the 90s..

Key Points

The gas pipeline is finished, but it is waiting regulatory approval before it
can start providing the 55 billion cubic meters of natural gas to Europe every year.

Some European lawmakers are fiercely opposed to the deal and do not want regulators to approve it.

The debate over what to do with Nord Stream 2 has gained even more attention in recent weeks as energy prices soar across Europe.

Only German Permit Needed to Turn On Nord Stream 2 Gas Flow, Russian Envoy Says

5 hours ago (Updated: 4 hours ago)
Sputnik International, 17.10.2021

LONDON (Sputnik) - Russia's Nord Stream 2 gas link with Germany is only a permit away from supplying extra gas to fuel-strapped Europe, the Russian ambassador to the UK said in an interview with the BBC.

Andrei Kelin told a BBC show with Andrew Marr that Russia was waiting for a go-ahead from Germany to start pumping natural gas under the Baltic Sea. The undersea pipeline was completed last month.

Asked whether Russia would send more gas westward through Ukraine, Kelin said that deliveries via that route had exceeded contractual obligations by 10% and a further increase could damage the pipeline.


He denied claims that Russia was trying to choke off gas flow through other pipelines to force Germany to allow Nord Stream 2 to start operations. He said any suggestions that Russia was using gas for political leverage were absurd.

Nord Stream 2 is a joint venture of Gazprom, Royal Dutch Shell, OMV, Engie, Uniper, and Wintershall. The project is designed to carry natural gas from Russia to Germany beneath the Baltic Sea. On 10 September, Russia's Gazprom announced that the construction of the pipeline was completed.

‘Crazy’ Bets on $200 Oil Invade the Options Market

Traders are wagering U.S. crude’s rally to a seven-year high is just the beginning, despite a softening global economic expansion

The bullish trading amounts to a gamble that supply-chain disruptions and regional shortages will keep pushing energy markets higher.


Oct. 17, 2021 5:30 am ET


A roaring trade in bullish crude-oil options says the 2021 energy rally is far from over.

Traders once again are betting that the U.S. oil benchmark will surge above $100 a barrel, from a recent $82, as early as December. U.S. crude, known as West Texas Intermediate or WTI, is up 10% this month, and 70% this year, but it hasn’t hit $100 since the oil crash of 2014.

Shell-Backed Co Buys Solar Startup

Nashville, Tennessee-based Silicon Ranch bought Clearloop for an undisclosed amount.

Silicon Ranch Corp., a solar developer backed by oil giant Royal Dutch Shell Plc, acquired a startup that funds its clean energy projects by selling carbon offsets.

Nashville, Tennessee-based Silicon Ranch bought Clearloop for an undisclosed amount to build utility-scale solar projects in distressed communities that’ll be financed by selling emissions credits to companies seeking to cut their carbon footprints, Silicon Ranch Chief Executive Officer Reagan Farr said. Silicon Ranch can fill in the financing gaps with its investors, such as Shell, and other tax-equity partners.

Clearloop recently broke ground on its first 1 megawatt project in the state with a company buying offsets for as little as $1,000, an idea inspired by crowdfunding, founder and CEO Laura Zapata said. The approach eliminates the need for long-term power sales contracts.

“The Clearloop model democratizes the ability to participate in the energy transition,” Farr said in a telephone interview.

This new model could make solar projects more accessible for companies that haven’t had the ability to commit to 20-year contracts to buy power such as Amazon.com Inc., WalMart Inc., Apple Inc. and other corporate giants. The goal is to target communities that haven’t seen investments in a long time or places where “the grid tends to be the dirtiest,” such as the Mississippi Delta and Appalachia, Clearloop’s Zapata said.

Clearloop plans to announce three more projects in the next six months, with about 10 megawatts of capacity.

For Shell, it’s another way to expand on its goal of becoming the world’s largest power producer. Last year, the company, like many of its peers, ramped up its climate ambitions with promises to cut emissions and diversify into cleaner sources of energy. Its $3 billion-a-year ceiling for spending on renewables and low-carbon technologies compares with the $8 billion it has set aside for oil and gas this year.

Silicon Ranch has built almost 2 gigawatts of solar generation in about eight years and currently has 700 megawatts under construction. The next Clearloop projects will be at least 3 megawatts, Farr and Zapata said.

Key Points

On Wednesday, the European Union put forward proposals that could see it trying to ban any tapping of new oil, coal and gas deposits in the Arctic.

The EU says it wants to protect the region from further disruptive climate change.

But countries like Russia derive economic wealth from the region’s hydrocarbons and other natural resources
