As energy prices in Europe soar with the approaching winter and trigger a political storm, BRAVE Partners looks at the factors driving this. The bottom line is that Europe needs energy independence and that requires investment in both new energy sources and in the infrastructure to diversify supply away from Russia.
Following a visit to his old University, Imperial College – BRAVE partner, Chris Cloke-Browne has a different view of carbon capture and storage (CCS). Moreover, he has some ideas as to how it relates to another pet topic at the firm – Section 29 collateral for North Sea decommissioning.
BRAVE Partners describes its energy business as 'alternative energy'. This is to reflect the fact that we seek to work with businesses that are not the major companies in the energy sector. It seems as if the firm has hit on the zeitgeist in the industry. Whilst often controversial (and BRAVE Partners does not shy away from controversy) 'alternative hydrocarbons' seem to be a theme.
