Greenpeace lodges legal bid to halt gas field in North Sea
Philip Evans from Greenpeace UK said: "This Jackdaw approval is a scandal. The government knows that burning fossil fuels drives the climate crisis, yet they're approving a new gas field in June, without proper climate checks, and declaring a national emergency over heatwaves in July.
Shell has said the Jackdaw field, at its peak, would produce enough gas to heat more than 1.4 million UK homes. Shell, which is a minority stakeholder in Cambo, had said it would no longer pursue oil from the field.The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy said it could not comment on live legal proceedings.
"This was on the basis of Offshore Petroleum Regulator for Environment and Decommissioning considering the environmental statement of the project and concluding that it will not have a significant effect on the environment."
