Jackdaw owner says gas field will 'not materially influence' climate change
Emissions from the controversial Jackdaw gas field in the North Sea will "not materially influence" global warming, according to a new report from its owner
Emissions from the controversial Jackdaw gas field in the North Sea will "not materially influence" global warming, according to a new report from its owner. Adura's updated Environmental Impact Assessment, external (EIA) said the project would account for less than 0.02% of annual global greenhouse gases during its lifetime.
The new assessment was required by the industry regulator, after it found several areas had not been adequately addressed in a previous submission. The report
was ordered by a judge who ruled that ministerial consent for Jackdaw was unlawful, following a legal challenge from environmental groups. Campaigners had called on
the UK government to reject both the Jackdaw gas field and the Rosebank oil field developments.
