Jackdaw boss warns of winter fuel shortages if gas field not approved

Adura chief executive Neil McCulloch warns that the UK faces winter fuel shortages if the Jackdaw gas field is not approved. The field, a joint venture between Shell and Equinor, could meet 6% of UK gas needs from 1 October. Environmental campaigners oppose the project, citing climate concerns, but McCulloch highlights the UK's limited gas storage and risks from weather or geopolitical threats.
