With green hydrogen a major element in Scotland’s net zero plans, we need to find ways to store it safely and economically, says Martin Wright, founder and executive chairman of Gravitricity.
Apprenticeships are vital for developing the skills needed to accelerate the delivery of clean energy infrastructure and to help the UK reap the rewards of the energy transition: economic growth, energy security and less exposure to volatile gas prices.
MPs have criticised the government in a report on its investment in carbon capture projects, saying there is a “high degree of uncertainty” whether the “risky” investment of £21.7bn in the “unproven technologies” would provide value for money for taxpayers.
A looming glut of LNG will loosen global energy markets in the next few years. Might this ease UK energy bills in time for the next general election?
Tackling negative connotations that may impact the mental health and morale of those entering the world of work.
It was bad luck for Ed Miliband that his appearance before the House of Commons Environmental Audit Committee fell on the same day that a report by Cornwall Insight predicted the UK would fall 32GW short of his ‘clean power by 2030’ target.
Hydrogen production is critically dependent on the availability of cheap, low-carbon electricity, efficiency gains and demand creation. The UK is targeting up to 10 GW of low-carbon hydrogen capacity by 2030. It will need billions of pounds a year in subsidies. Is the UK prepared to pay the cost?

2025 is set to be a pivotal year for the future of our North Sea.
A group representing local councils who are building an energy-from-waste (EfW) incinerator in North East England has hit back after a local MP criticised the project and called for it to be halted.
Energy Voice subscribers are invited to join us for a masterclass in digital innovation, hosted by digital entrepreneurs, SmplCo.
The Labour government promised to fix Britain’s broken energy market, as did Conservative governments before it, but is it really broken and does it need fixing?
This year will undoubtedly be remembered as a watershed for renewable electricity generation in the UK. By the end of 2024, it is likely to be the first full year in which low-carbon renewables – wind, solar, and hydropower – generated more electricity than fossil fuels.
The energy industry is way behind the digital curve, despite having every financial and intellectual advantage – and an existential demand for rapid change. Will that change in 2025?
“I’ve been working on the tools for decades, why should I have my competence checked.”
In our exclusive interview, Energy Voice spoke to Xlinks chief executive James Humfrey to discuss the scope and hurdles facing the nascent renewables megaproject.
The Xlinks Morocco-UK Power Project could help balance the UK grid and improve resiliency when it launches in the early 2030s, according to Xlinks chief executive James Humfrey.
COP29 was principally about adaptation finance, but it delivered little in the way of hard cash and even less in terms of the international solidarity required to address climate change.
Billions of dollars have been raised on promises of limitless power from nuclear fusion. However, the technology will not deliver affordable power within our lifetimes.
Make more people want to work for you using digital innovation… but probably not how you think.
The UK’s Office of Gas and Electricity Markets (Ofgem) has approved five new undersea energy links. In total, the newly approved projects are expected to boost the UK’s energy export and import capacity by over 6 GW, increasing it to over 18 GW by 2032, provided all of the approved links are completed as scheduled.
Norwegian ocean services provider DeepOcean and Aberdeen-based well management firm Exceed Energy have entered into a collaboration agreement to supply vessel-based well plug and abandonment (P&A) services. These will be offered to the decommissioning market globally.
The UK engineering construction industry has welcomed the Labour government’s commitment to skills and positive change at the 12th annual ECI Training and Development Awards in London.
Having had a front row seat for the growth of the UK’s carbon capture and storage (CCS) sector for a number of years now, it is great to see increasing recognition from Westminster of its crucial role in decarbonising British industry. This is especially true for cement manufacturing.
Why does the energy industry find it so hard to get digital innovation right? My colleagues at SmplCo recently hosted a Masterclass with Energy Voice sister publication E-FWD to address that very question...
