Rosebank expected to be approved despite government climate advisers saying it is ‘utterly unacceptable’
Activists and climate experts are vowing to step up their campaign to halt a huge new oilfield in the North Sea, which is expected to be given official approval in the coming days.
The Rosebank project is three times bigger than the controversial Cambo field that was put on hold more than a year ago and has the potential to produce 500m barrels of oil, which when burned would emit as much carbon dioxide as running 56 coal-fired power stations for a year.
