EDF能源公司首席执行官西蒙·罗西表示，开发北海新油气项目是"显而易见的选择"，与英国的净零排放议程"不存在矛盾"1。罗西的表态反映了能源业对政府批准Rosebank和Jackdaw两个油田项目的支持，支持者包括可再生能源领域的领导人物1。
支持这两个项目的理由主要围绕本地生产的优势展开1。倡导人士认为，在英国本土提取的化石燃料排放量更低，同时能够创造就业机会和增加税收收入1。EDF能源目前在英国产生约五分之一的低碳电力，拥有约8吉瓦低碳发电容量，其中包括8座核电站提供的6吉瓦电力以及2吉瓦的风能、太阳能和电池储存设施1。
英国政府预计将在数周内对这两个项目做出最终决定1。此前，开发商已根据法院命令重新提交申请文件，新申请增加了对燃烧化石燃料气候影响的考量1。
EDF Energy's Chief Executive Simone Rossi has characterized the development of new North Sea oil and gas projects as a "no-brainer" that does not contradict the net-zero agenda 1. Rossi's support comes as multiple stakeholders, including renewable energy leaders, back the government's approval of the Rosebank and Jackdaw oil field projects, arguing that domestically produced fossil fuels generate lower emissions than imports while creating jobs and tax revenue 1.
EDF Energy currently produces approximately one-fifth of the UK's low-carbon electricity, with around 8 gigawatts of low-carbon generation capacity comprising eight nuclear stations generating 6 gigawatts and 2 gigawatts from wind, solar, and battery storage 1. The developers of the two projects have resubmitted their applications following a court order, with revised documentation that includes greater consideration of the climate impacts of burning the extracted fossil fuels 1. The UK government is expected to make final decisions on both the Rosebank and Jackdaw projects within weeks 1.
