Exclusive: EU pumps out over 20% more CO2 per person than Brexit BritainFacts4EU.Org 'net zeros' in on the polluting EU, in a special report?Montage © Facts4EU.Org 2022One of the worst offenders is Germany – emitting 58% more CO2 per person than the UKThe EU27 countries emit far more CO2 per person than the United Kingdom – 20.2% more on average. Some of the larger countries such as Germany and Poland emit a great deal more than that.According to our analysis of official data, Boris Johnson can stop worrying about his highly expensive 'net zero' project and instead sit back and wait for the EU to catch up. At current rates this will take many years.Last week we looked at the EU's own figures of total emissions. In today's report we review a different measure – CO2 emissions per person, using the independent Oxford University's 'OWID' data from the Global Carbon Project.

Now, no liquid hydrocarbon fuel, including methanol, can be viewed as environmentally friendly, since burning it will result in carbon dioxide emissions.

But if it's going to be burned, like the massive volume of methane that's currently being flared, it might as well do a job for somebody instead of being completely wasted.

It's a transitional step in humanity's struggle to clean up our atmosphere, but it has the potential to make an enormous impact if further research proves as positive as the team expects it will.

The research is published in the journal Nature Chemistry.

waldron

yes i know the arguments over that but this was looked into, as certain areas where they were going to frack the water supply did not come from any source which fracking could affect..

they had all these discussions in the usa when they first started fracking i remember and then they were taken into consideration..

Water Contamination.

Fracking operations not only strain water resources but risk polluting them as well.

A 2016 EPA analysis found that while large data gaps and uncertainties make it difficult to fully assess the impact on drinking water, fracking operations can—and do—affect drinking water resources.

cannot tick you up for some reason,but i agree..

[waldron] 03/7/2022 09:33

as long as precautions taken to protect the water supplies then all could be well

What is Shell up to - TikTok manager, is it an oil and gas company or is it a WOKE company where WOKEness comes before its own share holders?

The order, signed on Thursday, creates a new firm to take over all rights and obligations of Sakhalin Energy Investment Co.

If Shell asks (its only ask and not putting in any more money) the Russian government for a stake in the new firm within one month they will highly likely be given a 27.5% stake in the new company, exactly the same percentage as they had in the original company.

The only question is...will Shell go WOKE and not ask the Russian government for a stake and therefore lose the $5bln investment in Sakhalin 2 or will they do the right thing by their share holders and ask the Russian government and therefore keep their investment in the project.

Is Shell willing to do its share holders out of $5bln just to look good to the WOKE brigade - knowing Shell most probably.

It's already in complete control by Russia, they seized the controlling interest back in 2007. That was the first grab. The second grab to probably eliminate / cancel contracts for Japan. More LNG for China.

Shell Looking for TikTok Expert

Shell revealed this week that it is looking for a full time TikTok channel manager in London.

The role is for a “TikTok platform expert, passionate about video, TikTok trends and able to drive the ambition to catapult Shell to be one the best content creators on TikTok”, according to a job brief posted by the company.

Shell noted in the brief that the purpose of the position will be to deliver and drive a Shell TikTok strategy. The eventual hire will “start a new chapter that will help Energy Engaged Audience and Gen Z worldwide understand in an engaging way the opportunities of Energy Transition and the Shell role and ambition in it”, Shell’s brief outlined.

TikTok is the leading destination for short-form mobile video, according to TikTok’s website, which notes that the platform’s mission is to “inspire creativity and bring joy”. TikTok, which is a product of ByteDance, launched outside of mainland China in May 17, ByteDance’s website shows.

Back in April, Shell published its Energy Transition Progress Report 2021 detailing the company’s progress over the past year. In a statement accompanying the release of the report, Shell’s CEO Ben van Beurden noted that it showed the “strong progress we have made towards our target to become a net-zero emissions energy business by 2050”.

This progress included critical investment decisions in the production of low-carbon fuels, solar and wind power, and hydrogen, and significant changes to Shell’s upstream and refinery portfolios, the company said in the statement.

Back in February this year, Shell announced the appointment of Ed Daniels to the newly created role of Strategy, Sustainability and Corporate Relations Director. Under the new role, Daniels became a member of Shell’s executive committee and has accountability for the company’s existing Strategy, Sustainability and Corporate Relations organizations.

“As we accelerate towards our goal of becoming a net zero emissions business, we are putting greater emphasis on how we engage with all stakeholders on the many complex issues and opportunities related to the energy transition,” Beurden said in a Shell statement on Daniels’ appointment.

Net zero, inflation and energy securityJULY 1, 2022 16 COMMENTSWorldwide advanced country governments are committed to the road to net zero  by 2050. Their plan at Glasgow COP 26 was to speed progress. The sudden invasion of Ukraine disrupted the supply of oil and gas, drove up prices and made them more apprehensive about their duty to keep the lights on and  homes warm. The EU announced that it would henceforth regard gas as a green transition fuel and accept more of it. President Biden turned from wanting the rapid run down of oil and gas production in the USA to boasting that more oil and gas is now being produced on his watch than happened in early  Trump. The President is urging oil and gas companies to drill and produce more, and urging refineries to convert more to products. In the UK the government has moved policy on to favour North Sea oil and gas production instead of imports, and is examining the case for allowing onshore gas drilling again.I would be interested in your thoughts on how far this rethink should go? How much more do governments need to do for the current decade to offer enough affordable energy?  It is clear India and China as large users of energy and producers of CO2 now plan to mine and burn yet more coal, delaying the world's wish to move on from coal as soon as possible. Germany too is being forced short term into more reliance on coal as Russia cuts the supply of gas via pipeline.Decarbonisation plans hinge on wholesale electrification of heating, industrial processes, transport and much else. In turn this will need a massive expansion of electrical power generation which must come from renewables or nuclear. It looks as if this will need methods of storing surplus wind and solar power when it is available to deliver enough power when the sun does not shine and the wind does  not blow or blows too much.  What do we think a realistic timetable is for installing the extra capacity and confirming the technologies for storage and smoothing?It will also need a consumer revolution. People will need to accept the free smart meters which half the public refuses. Consumers will need to be tempted in large numbers to buy heat pumps and electric cars. How far off a popular revolution are we? Without it decarbonisation will make slow progress, and the huge increases in CO2 from the emerging world led by China will overwhelm  the global figures....

8:08amJapan warns gas interests 'must not be undermined'Japan has said its energy interests "must not be undermined" after the Kremlin issued a decree that could force foreign shareholders out of a major Russian gas project.Japanese trading houses Mitsui and Mitsubishi own 12.5pc and 10pc stakes respectively in the Sakhalin-2 facility, but the future of their investments appears uncertain after the Russian move.It calls for the establishment of a new Russian operator and requires existing foreign shareholders to apply for the right to participate in the new firm, with Moscow deciding on their inclusion.Japanese government spokesman Seiji Kihara said Tokyo was "closely examining the impact on liquified natural gas imports".He added: "Speaking generally, we believe our resource interests must not be undermined."Shell is yet to issue its response to the move....

briefing newsletterPutin has signed a decree to seize the rights to Shell's gas project in Russia in a move that could force the British energy giant to abandon its investment.A statement from the Kremlin ordered the rights to the Sakhalin-2 facility to be transferred to a new Russian company, citing threats to the country's national interests and economic security.Shareholders have one month to say whether they'll take stakes in the new company and were warned they may not be fully compensated if they opt out.The move could spark complications for Shell, which holds a 27.5pc stake in Sakhalin-2. The firm previously said it will sell its holding – worth an estimated $4.1bn (£3.4bn) – as part of its withdrawal from Russia.It is not clear whether Shell will be able to find a buyer, although Chinese state energy companies have been linked to a potential deal....

I hate to see people gloating over share price drops, however...... i am actually taking some perverse satisfaction in seeing crypto bombing out, i am an old fart and although i get the concept of crypto i have never been convinced that some smart techy can invent a new currency and within weeks its worth billions..... no matter which way i look at it it just doesnt add up (nor make sense) and is only really of use to drug dealers, criminals, money launderers and tax dodgers....
So i am getting satisfaction in telling my two sons 'i told you so'

They better start another $4-5bn tranche of the buyback program to hoover up cheap shares. Maybe while at it get the management hooved up as well. The CEO has been for over a decade, surely he needs to join John Kerry preaching green washing to the world in their jets. How has the CEO kept his job after cutting the dividend since world war II is beyond reason.
