OGUK backs IPCC report for ‘adding new impetus’ to low carbon transition

The UK offshore oil and gas industry’s representative body has backed a landmark climate paper, hailing it for “adding new impetus” to the energy transition.

Oil and Gas UK (OGUK) said the sector supports the findings of the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, as well as its conclusion that the world must “urgently move” to a low carbon future.

Released on Monday, the IPCC study issued a stark warning about the potential impacts arising from a lack of action on reducing emissions.
