Conservative leader Kimi Badnoush said that her party will remove all the requirements of net zero on oil and gas companies in the northern Sea digging if it is elected.
Badenoch must officially announce the plan to focus only on “maximizing extraction” and obtaining “both our oil and gas from the North Sea” in a speech in Aberdeen on Tuesday.
Reform in the United Kingdom said it wanted more fossil fuels extracted from the North Sea.
The government has committed to prohibiting new exploration licenses. “He is driving growth,” said a spokesman for “Adel and Organized”, away from oil and gas.
The government spokesman warned that exploring new fields “will not come out of the bills” or improve energy security and will “accelerate the increasing climate crisis only.”
Badnosh pointed to a major change in conservative climate policy when it announced earlier this year that arrival Zero will be “impossible” by 2050.
The United Kingdom’s successive governments pledged to reach the goal by 2050, and it was written in law by the Teresa May in 2019. This means that the UK must reduce carbon emissions to remove as much as it is produced, in line with the Paris 2015 climate agreement.
Now Badenosh said that the requirements of work towards zero zero are a burden on oil and gas producers in the North Sea, which is harmful to the economy and which will remove it.
The Conservative Party leader said that a conservative government would be relieved of the need to reduce emissions or work on techniques such as carbon storage.
Badnosh said it was “ridiculous” that the United Kingdom was leaving “unpopular vital resources” while neighbors like Norway from the same sea bed.
In 2023, then the Prime Minister Rishi Sonak granted 100 new licenses The drilling in the North Sea, which said at the time it was “completely consistent” with zero net obligations.
Reform in the UK has said it would do Cancel pressure on zero zero If elected.
The current government said it has made “the largest investment ever in the marine winds and three of the kind carbon capture and storage groups.”
Carbon capture and storing facilities aim to prevent the release of carbon dioxide (CO2) from industrial processes and power plants to the atmosphere.
Most of the produced carbon dioxide is caught, transferred, and then stored under the ground.
It is seen by the likes of the International Energy Agency and the Climate Change Committee as a major element in achieving goals to reduce greenhouse gases that lead to dangerous climate change.
