Overview

The UK oil and gas industry has committed through the North Sea Transition Deal to reducing offshore emissions by 50% in 2030. To achieve this, without effectively turning off the lights, it is widely recognised that electrification will play a pivotal role. The event will discuss the scale of the challenge, the need for unprecedented collaboration across the energy sector and the practicalities of actually achieving large scale electrification within the UK offshore environment.
