Hi , Prime Minister has announced that more drilling licences have been approved for the North Sea operators.

BUT still on target to stop production of ic cars by 2030.

What is going on !

The target is to stop selling ICE cars without a hybrid powertrain in the UK by 2030, and for the UK to be net zero by 2050, but we will continue to need oil and gas for umpteen more things than petrol/diesel for cars.

Its also interesting to note that to stand any chance of getting to Net Zero it's commonly accepted that we will need to ramp up carbon sequestration (CCUS) - and the main players in that arena are....Shell, BP, Equinor etc.

Certainly in Europe the government funding for CCUS is way less than the US, where probably unsurprisingly there are far more active CCUS projects. So if European Governments want industry to fund CCUS projects to a greater degree then you can see an additional argument for allowing oil and gas exploration/development to continue.
 
Not to mention all the millions of ICE car still on the road for many, many years past 2030 will still need dyno juice!! And the bikes, planes, boats/ships, and the commercials and the lawn mowers....etc etc. Most of which have no ICE ban.

You meant to say "stop the sale of new ICE cars in the UK by 2030"? Our Prime Minister does not have the power to stop production of cars, given that most of the factories that make them are located abroad.... :)

Hi , you are correct.
 
Whats the point of importing them when they will be illegal to sell/register?
 
I was just (pedantically) correcting Boyband's post.....
 
I bet hardly anyone will be registering an ICE car by then. Don't forget that most are not car people like us and don't care what powers their cars.....we area pretty small minority I would guess.

Can't we do anything with the recovered carbon? Is it a gas? Can't it be burnt in an enclosed place? Hah, who needs scientists?

Agreed. In my experience over the years, the majority use a car purely as a simple convenience, and are only interested in keeping the cost of running said convenience to an absolute minimum.
Receiving a bill of any consequence would ensure a battle royal of detailed explanation and enormous patience to extract any amount of money from customers wallet/purse. This lengthy experience is the reason behind my personal scepticism of EV uptake. Most folks like to think green vehicle usage, provided it doesn’t cost more than a few grand. 🫣

Its actually an interesting point because i keep reading that there is a shortage of CO2. Which sounds counter-intuitive. The "U" part in CCUS though stands for Utilisation so yes there is a plan in the process to utilise some of the CO2.

The perennial challenge with Tech: the new ones will be better. (They say)

Robert Llewelyn went into all this with his first Gen Leaf two years ago. I’m no expert on the subject and it will have all moved on, but it’s worth a look

Fully Charged is Robert’s EV and battery review channel.

Generally most haven’t rapid charged their Leaf. It’s from the overnight charge generation of EV’s

I'm aware of the channel but hadn't seen this - thanks! Also following Dala's EV repair on YouTube now, lots to learn! I wonder how much is do-able by a DIYer
