Insiders Say Rosebank Oilfield Can Be Approved Within UK Emissions Targets

Government insiders told The Guardian that the Rosebank North Sea oilfield can be approved without breaching UK emissions targets. Part of the reason, they say, is that emissions from burning exported oil do not count against domestic limits. A 2024 court ruling found its earlier approval was wrongly given. Energy Secretary Miatta Fahnbulleh makes the final decision.
