The Oil platform Stena Spey is moved with tug boats amongst other rigs which have been left in the Cromarty Firth near Invergordon in the Highlands of Scotland
UNIONS and politicians have said that the support for North Sea oil and gas workers must be greater from the Scottish government if targets for a just transition and net-zero emissions are to be met.
Scotland’s transport and net zero secretary Michael Matheson announced multimillion-pound funding yesterday for projects to reduce emissions in the North Sea oil sector, with money being matched by the oil and gas industries.
Mr Matheson confirmed £16.5 million for seven energy schemes being led by the Net Zero Technology Centre.
