Business Green rounds up from reactions from politicians, trade associations, think tanks, and researchers including Steve Smith, Arnell Associate Professor of Greenhouse Gas Removal, Smith School, University of Oxford. 

Cassandra Etter-Wenzel, DPhil candidate at the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment, and Dr Anupama Sen, Head of Policy Engagement at the Smith School, argue that the debate over the Jackdaw gas field focused on the wrong questions, and that its gas would have been worth more to the UK held in reserve for future generations.

On Channel 4's "The Breakdown," Dr Sugandha Srivastav discussed the global oil price shock, the reasons UK consumers have been badly affected, and what the government can do mitigate this situation in the future.  

A new policy brief led by Nadia Schroeder has been covered in The Times. The brief examines how changes to seabed leasing by The Crown Estate (TCE) affect offshore wind financing costs, and may impact project delivery, bills and the UK energy transition. 

This explainer by Client Earth on the UK's political debate around the use of North Sea Oil and Gas references research by the Oxford Smith School, which found that further licensing could only have a minimal impact on household bills.  

Business Green reported on the renewal of Bank of America's research partnership with the Oxford Smith School. "Our earlier work showed how misleading conventional assumptions can be. This partnership gives us the opportunity to bring the same empirical rigour to the next generation of energy challenges," said Professor Doyne Farmer, who will lead the forthcoming research.
