Energy transition survey, ET42 - What does the future hold for the industry?
Our sponsorship of the Energy Transition survey continues and reflects on the findings of ET42.
Protecting the supply chain that fuels tomorrow
For 60 years, the UK’s oil and gas supply chain has been nothing short of world-class. Forged in the challenging North Sea environment, it has evolved into a powerhouse of engineering excellence, a safety-first culture, cutting-edge technology, and a workforce that is the envy of the world.
Charting a sustainable path for the UK’s energy future
We recently partnered with Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce on their latest Energy Transition Survey. In this article, we explore key findings and what they mean for the Energy sector.
Why financing the energy transition is at the crux of the climate challenge
Notwithstanding all the rhetoric, pledges and promises, 27 COPs, as well as genuine progress and notable effort in some areas, the global energy mix has not really changed from an 80:20 fossil fuel to renewables ratio over the last 30 years.
New capital allowances ruling could mean more tax relief for large infrastructure projects
A recent court appeal has broadened the range of activities that may qualify for capital allowances on large-scale projects. This is particularly relevant for the Infrastructure & Renewables sector, but could apply to projects in a variety of other sectors too. Michael Murray, Construction and Property Incentives Partner explains further.
Creating enduring impact for the energy sector
In this blog, David Wilson reflects on how strategic renewable, infrastructure, and sustainability initiatives are reshaping Scotland’s energy landscape - and what that means for long‑term sector resilience.
The path to net zero for the Rural sector
Scotland targets net zero by 2045 - with 75% emissions cuts by 2030. Here, we explore rural renewables, carbon credits, peatland, woodland strategies, and what they mean for long‑term climate goals.
