Emissions from the controversial Jackdaw gas field in the North Sea will "not materially influence" global warming, according to a new report from its owner. Adura's updated Environmental Impact Assessment, external (EIA) said the project would account for less than 0.02% of annual global greenhouse gases during its lifetime. Campaigners had called on the UK government to reject both the Jackdaw gas field and the Rosebank oil field developments. More stories from North East Scotland, Orkney and Shetland Listen to news from North East Scotland on BBC Sounds The previous revised EIA, submitted in November, said the Jackdaw field could produce up to 35.8 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions or equivalent during its lifetime, which is around 90% of Scotland's total emissions. The updated assessment, requested by the Offshore Petroleum Regulator for Environment and Decommissioning (Opred), required Adura to provide additional context on how emissions would affect global ambitions to limit climate change. Its 159-page submission said that displacing imported liquified nature gas (LNG) from the United States with gas from the Jackdaw field would save the equivalent of four million tonnes of CO2 equivalent. It also said the climate effects would be "minor" because the UK has a "well-regulated industry, with targets and commitments that are aligned with the expectations of the Paris Agreement", a legally binding commitment to limit global warming to between 1.5 and 2C.
