Energy lies at the heart of the success of nations. The ability to provide ample, flexible, and cheap energy has fuelled the creation of industry, jobs, tax income and welfare across our home markets.
At the same time, energy production is also the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions, making it a significant challenge in limiting global warming.
