New licenses for North Sea oil and gas are incompatible with reaching net zero by 2050, a report says.
A new North Sea oil and gas licensing round is expected to be launched in the coming daysExploiting new oil and gas fields is "radically at odds" with the UK's commitments to fight climate change, according to a new report.
The report looked at the reserves in the 21 largest North Sea oil and gas fields that have already been licensed and are awaiting final approval. It says that if those reserves were extracted and burnt it would release the equivalent of 920m tonnes of CO2. That's more than the total annual emissions of many countries.
"We are taking decisive action to reinforce our energy security," Ms Truss told the Conservative party conference.
