Oil and gas industry outlines its plans to reach net zero emissions

The industry body for Oil and Gas in the UK has set out a detailed plan on how it will reduce carbon emissions to net zero by 2050 in the UK and by 2045 in Scotland.

Among the plans are to reduce emissions from the productions process by updating technology and using renewable energies where possible.

Also included are plans to generate and store hydrogen in offshore reservoirs.

"We now need to move the debate on from talking about the need to act, to demonstrating what we are doing to act," said Dame Deirdre Michie in her announcement of the OGUK plan.
