Oil and gas will continue to play an important role as part of the energy mix for decades to come. As we continue to move to a low carbon economy we need to ensure we have a balanced energy mix, so we have a reliable, clean and affordable energy system. This means that in the medium term there will be a role for oil and gas; currently over 85% of the population use gas for heating and around 65% for cooking, with UK Continental Shelf oil and gas production still equivalent to around half of demand.<\/p>
<\/p>
We are leading the world in our response to the special report on global warming of 1.5°C \u2013 commissioning the Committee on Climate Change (CCC) for their advice on the implications of the Paris Agreement for the UK\u2019s long-term emissions reduction targets, just one week after its publication. As part of this, we have requested that they provide evidence on how reductions in line with the CCC\u2019s recommendations might be delivered in key sectors of the economy and we will consider their advice carefully when it is received.<\/p>

Before an operator can apply for planning permission from a local authority for any proposed oil or gas development, they need to apply for a Petroleum Exploration and Development Licence (PEDL) from the Oil and Gas Authority. There are no current PEDLs within the Greater London area.<\/p>
<\/p>
In addition, under Section 50 of the Infrastructure Act 2015, the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy must grant Hydraulic Fracturing Consent (HFC) before hydraulic fracturing can take place in the UK. The Department has not received any HFC applications relating to shale gas exploration in a) Ealing Southall constituency, b) Ealing local authority area or c) Greater London.<\/p>
<\/p>
The British Geological Survey has identified the main areas of shale prosperity in the UK, none of which lie underneath the Greater London area.<\/p>
