  Renewables and nascent low-carbon technologies most exposed to high interest rates

  • 18 4月 2024

  If high interest rates persist, transitioning to a net zero global economy will be even harder and more costly. The higher cost of borrowing negatively affects renewables and nascent technologies, compared to more established oil and gas, and metals and mining sectors, which remain somewhat insulated.

  Why the transition needs smart upstream taxes

  • 03 4月 2024

  How to develop a low-carbon energy system and maximise revenue from a mature oil and gas province? Many countries face the challenge the UK is trying to deal with today. Its two main political parties have upped the ante on tax rates ahead of an election - and run the risk of stifling investment.     How much investment is threatened? Is there a fiscal system that works for both upstream and low carbon? Can other countries learn from the UK?
