According to research by Robert Gordon University (RGU), three exciting new low-carbon technologies will create 26,000 new energy jobs
in the UK by 2030.
These three technologies are hydrogen production, carbon storage and transportation, and electrification
of offshore platforms.
Hydrogen is a green fuel that can replace natural gas and diesel, carbon storage and transportation can be buried underground to reduce emissions, and electrification of offshore platforms can reduce emissions from oil and gas during production
.
The RGU study was commissioned by the UK Offshore Energy Corporation (OEUK) under the North Sea Transition Agreement, a 2021 agreement
between the offshore oil and gas industry and the UK government.
The deal acknowledges the industry's role in providing a secure supply of oil and gas, while also enabling offshore oil and gas companies to provide low-carbon energy production, including offshore wind
.
RGU looked at three investment scenarios to calculate how many jobs
the deal could create by 2030.
It found that if the UK Government's UK Energy Security Strategic objectives can be met, the UK will be:
• Storing 30 million tons of CO2 underground every year
• Production of 10 GW of hydrogen (roughly equivalent to 10 large power stations)
• Operating 10 offshore oil or gas platforms
with low-carbon electricity.
• Employs up to 26,000 people – 15%
of the total offshore industry workforce.
Depending on the level of investment, this means that 8,000 - 26,000 new energy jobs will be created by 2030 due to NSTD-related activities such as CO2 treatment, transportation and storage
.
In the same best-case scenario, this would also mean more than £14 billion invested in UK-related activities by 2030
