New UK North Sea oil and gas licenses are being contested by Greenpeace

Greenpeace, an international environmental organization, challenged the new license issued to the North Sea oil and gas exploration in the United Kingdom. The firm has brought its major concerns spotting the downstream gas emissions that would result from the extraction processes and could ultimately harm the environment on a large scale.

The Greenpeace organization argues stating that the government had failed to scrutinize the plan while assessing the emission of harmful gases, which resulted in stating the energy plan unlawful. It states that the license is issued to provide a sufficient domestic energy supply that can be extracted and then consumed as oil and gas resources on a large scale.

The Department for energy security countered that the government didn’t require to assess the emissions count, while it claims that the plan lines up with its objectives to attain a net-zero emission by the year 2050. The Greenpeace organization sticks with its argument accusing the government in the high court in the UK.

The government of the United Kingdom had authorized the North Sea oil and gas exploration in order to empower the production of domestic oil and gas resources that would ultimately boost energy security. The plan aims to reduce the dependence of Europe on Russian fuel resources and produce its own oil and gas energy.

Uplift, a British campaign group, affirms that the government should not issue new oil and gas licenses, stating that the government had failed to scan the downstream or end-use emissions produced by the extraction of the oil and gas resources. Moreover, among these social conflicts, the RockCreek investment firm declared the closing of the investment in the Raven SR, which is an organization that majorly deals with producing highly valued renewable fuel that is used for transportation and produced by feedstocks.

According to Procurement Resource, the Greenpeace organization challenged the government of Britain, accusing them of not scrutinizing the end-use emissions produced by the North Sea Oil and Gas station. The firm litigates the same at the High Court for further discussion. The government had authorized the new oil and gas exploration license, aiming to produce domestic oil and gas for consumption while reducing dependence on Russian fuel energy. Other firms like RockCreek have closed their investment in Raven SR, a fuel manufacturing company in Britain.
