🤔 What if phasing out oil & gas takes far longer than we hope? What happens in the meantime?

💭 Like most people, I prefer to imagine a future without fossil fuels. Yet the reality is sobering: oil & gas (O&G) is set to remain a part of the global energy system for years to come, likely even decades.

⛽ That raises an uncomfortable but unavoidable question: if we can’t get rid of O&G fast enough, should we at least decarbonise it as aggressively as possible? Or does that risk locking it in forever?

🔥 That’s exactly the conversation I’ll be having -live here on LinkedIn - with Jack Andreasen Cavanaugh, one of the most thoughtful voices in US climate policy.

Some of the questions I’ll be asking Jack:

🔹 Does every ton of CO₂ actually matter regardless of where it comes from?

🔹 Is decarbonising oil & gas pragmatic climate action… or moral hazard?

🔹 What would “high-integrity” decarbonisation of O&G even look like?

🔹 What options are available?

🔹 What role (if any) should CDR play in the sector’s transition?

🤓 I’m genuinely looking forward to this one: not as a debate, but as a rare, honest conversation that the climate world tends to avoid.

🙋 This topic will make some people uncomfortable. That’s fine. We need more of these conversations. So I’d love to hear from you: should we decarbonise oil & gas as much as possible or does doing so slow down the transition?
