How do the differing risk profiles of private companies (Shell, Total) and state-owned enterprises (EBN, Gasunie) influence investment decisions in the Aramis project?

The partial withdrawal highlights the tension between government climate ambitions and industry risk aversion in the energy transition. While the government prioritizes CO2 storage as a key strategy to meet climate targets, the lack of guaranteed demand for pipeline capacity deters private investment. This underscores challenges in balancing short-term economic interests with long-term environmental goals.

How did the Deepwater Horizon disaster and subsequent consequences contribute to the significant difference in market valuation between BP and Shell?

For decades, BP and Shell were comparable competitors. Now, Shell's market value is double BP's, prompting activist investor Elliott Investment Management to demand cost cuts and divestments from BP to boost its independent performance. Elliott's aim is for BP to emulate Shell's cost-cutting and reduced renewable energy investments, which, according to Bloomberg, has increased Shell's valuation.

Why did the appeals court reject Milieudefensie's primary demand, and what alternative approaches did the court suggest?

The appeals court rejected Milieudefensie's claim that Shell should halve its emissions by 2030, arguing that it's impossible to set a precise percentage reduction and that if Shell reduced output, competitors would fill the gap. The court did acknowledge Shell's efforts and the potential benefits of substituting gas for coal. This case sets a significant precedent for similar lawsuits globally, impacting the legal landscape for corporate climate responsibility.

How would the Coalition's proposed gas export curbs impact investment in new Australian gas projects and the overall supply of gas to the east coast?

Shell Australia chair Cecile Wake warned that the Coalition's plan to curb gas exports would not increase gas supply but redistribute it, potentially worsening shortfalls in NSW and Victoria by disrupting the market and hindering investment in new projects. The plan aims to reserve 50-100 petajoules of uncontracted gas annually, enough for an additional 20 percent of eastern seaboard demand. This intervention comes as ageing Bass Strait gas fields deplete, leading to concerns about future shortfalls.
