【試聽集逐字稿】
In the Hague, the district court delivered a judgment against Royal Dutch Shell, the parent company of the Shell group, which is one of the oil giants in the world. Under the ruling, Shell is obliged to cut its carbon emissions by 45% by the end of 2030, compared to 2019.
While this is surely a historic victory, it may not bring as great benefits as we expect it to do for the following reasons.
Firstly, energy demand is still rising. Oil and gas demand is far from peaking and supplies will be needed. Countries in Asia provide the lion’s share of growth. With the demand still rising, can we really reduce carbon emission with this ruling against Shell?
Some may suggest renewable energy as the alternative. Of course this is a great solution. However, we’re not yet ready to change from fossil fuels to renewable energy. The renewable energy sector is definitely booming, but not ready to meet energy demand from around the globe.
This explains why climate activists have got some unlikely cheerleaders in the oil capitals of Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi and Russia. Why? Asian countries, with their rising demands, will now go to oil companies in the Middle East and Russia. Shell’s loss means more business for them.
