The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

Fossil fuels provide 89% of the world’s primary energy needs. We consume over 1m tonnes of oil and 250m cm of gas every hour. These fuels are essential to our existence, but are controversial – it is generally accepted that they have a damaging effect on our climate. Phil Hopkins, technical director, Penspen and professorial fellow, University of Newcastle, introduces some of the ethical issues staff face in the oil and gas business
