  • EVOL: Political theatre, hydrogen headaches, and crude constraints
    May 22 2026

    This week, the commons threw out a proposed bill to 'get Britain drilling', the hydrogen sector offered insight into project delivery, and Wood Mac painted a bleak picture for global oil.

    Host and Aberdeen features lead, Ryan Duff, news reporter editor Mat Perry, renewables reporter Micheal Behr, and North West correspondent Floyd March discuss the weeks headlines.

    Up first, Michael asks if the Conservative Party's proposed Get Britain Drilling Bill was little more than political theatre after it was shot down by a 215 MP majority. We reflect on the opposition party's approach to oil and gas and how it has positioned itself as the Labour government looks to make good on its manifest commitment of banning exploration in the North Sea.

    Next, Floyd discusses the state of play in the hydrogen sector after he attended Hydrogen Week. Although some projects have stalled due to delays in Hydrogen Allocation Round 2 announcements and the governments strategy for the fuel source, industry remained positive.

    Finally, Mat talks us through Wood Mac's latest insights into the global impacts of ongoing oil supply constraints in the wake of war in the Middle East. He highlights that although the UK may be able to weather the storm that will be high prices, other nations will not be as fortunate.

    He also caught up with Mark Baxter, project director of Ocean Winds’ Caledonia offshore wind farms just before the renewable energy initiative got sign off from government. Mark provided insight into how transmission charges are impacting Scottish projects.

    The Ocean Winds project boss also detailed his ambitions to submit bids for contracts for difference for the California North wind farm. Mark explained how he hopes to secure a strike price for at least one half of the Caledonia site as he explained the issues facing floating projects as the industry looks ahead to Allocation Round 8.

    Finally, Ryan spoke with Energy Voice columnist and former British diplomat, Greg Quinn, about the issues that prime minister Kier Starmer faced this week as Labour MPs turned their back on the party leader.

  • Energy Voice Out Loud x Scottish Enterprise
    May 12 2026
    In this conversation, brought to you by Scottish Enterprise, Aberdeen features lead Ryan Duff discusses offshore wind with Terry Hogg, innovation systems team leader for Scottish Enterprise, and Nassima Brown, strategy director at Fennex. What is demand driven innovation? That is the question that kicks things off as the trio discuss Scottish Enterprise's interaction with supply chain to ensure that relevant technologies hit the market to help deliver renewable energy ambitions. The trio discuss the offerings of the state-backed investment firm while calling attention to how Fennex has benefited from engagement with Scottish Enterprise. Offshore wind has been around a while but there is still so much that can be done, and one thing is for certain, the renewable energy source is only going to accelerate as Scotland looks to deliver on its energy transition targets.

  • EVOL: Anywhere but the UK and EIC's Energy 360° Summit
    May 8 2026

    This week the UK felt the effects of oil firms taking their investment overseas as Ineos and Shell doubled down on US spending and BP was rumoured to exit the country. Also, EIC hosted its Energy 360° Summit in London!

    Host and Aberdeen features lead, Ryan Duff, news reporter editor Mat Perry, and renewables reporter Micheal Behr discuss the state of play in UK waters while news editor Erikka Askeland catches up with delegates in the big smoke.

    Up first, our trio of reporters chat about what BP's potential move form the North Sea means for the market and what it's confirmation of intention to sell its stake in the East Coast Cluster means for carbon capture storage in the UK. Also, they touch on why firms are looking to other countries after Ineos made some punchy comments about UK energy policy.

    Next, Erikka speaks with Neil Golding, director of market intelligence at EIC, about the outrageous fortunes of the energy technologies of the future and was surprised by his answer when she asked what his favourite clean energy technology was. She then caught up with Sam Long, chief executive of trade body Decom Mission, who talked about why decommissioning needs to get sexier and what punters can expect when Decom Week kicks of at the end of the month. And finally, for those who are interested in a sneak peak at what to expect at Offshore Europe 2027 in Aberdeen, she also caught marketing manager Michael Enser who was also at the Energy 360 Summit to parse the energy trends between now and then.

  • EVOL: Election mania and NZTC penny pinching
    May 1 2026

    This week the UK braced itself for elections in Scotland and Wales, which are both set to be held on 7 May, and Energy Voice reported about public funding running out at the Net Zero Technology Centre (NZTC).

    Host and Aberdeen features lead, Ryan Duff, north west correspondent Floyd March, and news reporter editor Mat Perry discuss the runners and riders in the elections while news editor Erikka Askeland jumps in at the end of the show to talk us through all things NZTC.

    Up first, Mat talks about the energy related manifesto promises from all the major parties in Scotland as Ryan asks why oil and gas is such a big debate in an election for a government with no power over it.

    Next, Floyd gets us caught up with the Welsh election where Plaid Cymru and Reform UK are neck and neck. The creation of a Crown Estate Wales, the role of nuclear energy in the country and where onshore renewables should be located are all hot topics ahead of people casting their ballots.

    Finally, Erikka reveals that NZTC has let go of around half of its workforce as its £180 million over ten years deal with the government came to an end. So what's next for the organisation? Research appears to be on the cards as it said goodbye (for now) it its Tech X incubator programme. But, the main question to be asked at the end of this discussion is whether this is a case of 'what have the NZTC ever done for us?' or is Myrtle a 'a verry bad boy'?
