Net-zero decommissioning the ‘next big step’, report says
Learning how to decommission oilfields without demolishing the UK oil and gas industry’s net-zero pledge is the “next big step”, a new report said.

Shell has received the green light to decommission its Goldeneye platform in the North Sea.
If necessity is the mother of invention, the Committee on Climate Change’s “Net Zero – The UK’s contribution to stopping global warming” report should spur a jump-start for the carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS) industry in the UK.
Serious investment in technology to store emissions underground is the ‘only option right now’ for the oil industry to cut its climate change impact.
Energy giant Shell is getting “actively” involved in a north-east carbon capture project again – less than five years after its plans for a similar scheme were derailed.
I was interested to read your recent article “CCUS is a stopgap to a big hydrogen world” which called CCUS a “blunt, end of pipe, short term solution” to tackling climate change. Instead, Tom Baxter argues, we should bypass CCUS and focus our ambition and investment on delivering green hydrogen.
Scottish and Mexican scientists are working together to help support Mexico's efforts to develop carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS) capacity.
