We will be close to delivering the targets we have set for 2032 for energy efficiency, low carbon heat and transport. Our electricity and gas networks will be fundamental to this progress across Scotland and there will be new ways of designing, operating and regulating them to ensure that they are used efficiently. The policy context The energy transition must also be inclusive – all parts of society should be able to benefit. The Scotland’s Energy Strategy sets out a vision options we identify must make sense no matter for the energy system in Scotland until 2050 – what pathways to decarbonisation might targeting a sustainable and low carbon energy emerge as the best.

This SEA 5 is the fifth in a series planned by the DTI, which will, in stages, cover the whole of the UKCS. 1.2 The SEA 5 area is shown on the map on the following page. It is the area between the SEA 2 and SEA 4 areas. It extends from north of the Shetland Islands down the whole east coast of Scotland to the border with England. 1.3 Mackay Consultants were asked by Geotek Ltd and Hartley Anderson Ltd, on behalf of the DTI, to assess the socio-economic implications of licensing the SEA 5 area. This report sets out the results of our work, in relation to • oil and gas production, and reserves • capital, operating and decommissioning expenditure • employment • tax revenue • social impacts.

    Moray Offshore Renewables Limited - Environmental Statement Telford, Stevenson and MacColl Offshore Wind Farms and Transmission Infrastructure 5 Human Environment 5.1 Commercial Fisheries 5.1 5.1.1 Introduction 5.1.1.1 This chapter summarises the baseline study of commercial fishing activities, including salmon and sea trout fisheries, in the vicinity of the three proposed development sites (Telford, Stevenson and MacColl) and the offshore transmission infrastructure (OfTI). For the purpose of this study, commercial fishing is defined as CHAPTER any legal fishing activity undertaken for declared taxable profit. 5.1.1.2 The following technical appendices support this chapter and can be found as: Technical Appendix 4.3 B (Salmon and Sea Trout Ecology Technical Report). Technical Appendix 5.1 A (Commercial Fisheries Technical Report). 5.1.1.3 For the purposes of this assessment, salmon and sea trout fisheries in the Moray Firth are separately addressed to other commercial fisheries, as a result of their being located largely in-river (with the exception of some coastal netting) and being different in nature to the majority of marine commercial fishing activities. In addition, due to the migratory behaviour of salmon and sea trout, fisheries have been assessed for all rivers flowing into the Moray Firth. It is also recognised that salmon is a qualifying feature or primary reason for Special Area of Conservation (SAC) site selection of the following rivers in the Moray Firth: Berriedale and Langwell Waters SAC (primary reason); River Moriston

PROJECT NAME PROJECT DESCRIPTION 01 Project Acorn1 Project Acorn comprises of two elements: a hydrogen production plant and a CCUS storage facility, which is expected to be the first in the UK. The production plant will be a 200 MW low carbon hydrogen plant using Johnson Matthey technology, which will blend hydrogen into the National Transmission System at St Fergus. Blending into the gas network will start at 2% and increasing to 100% conversation of the local network (Aberdeen and Moray), ultimately decarbonising the gas at St Fergus Gas Terminal and providing hydrogen for power generation. The CCUS transport and storage facility will make use of three redundant pipelines (Miller Gas Pipeline, Goldeneye Pipeline and Atlantic Pipeline) and will deliver a CCUS project, to sequestrate carbon dioxide from multiple sources, expected to be St Fergus Gas Terminal, Peterhead Power Station and Grangemouth Industrial Cluster (via the NTS pipeline).

  • OTHER USERS and MATERIAL ASSETS (INFRASTRUCTURE, OTHER NATURAL RESOURCES) A3h.1 INTRODUCTION
    Offshore Energy SEA APPENDIX 3h – OTHER USERS AND MATERIAL ASSETS (INFRASTRUCTURE, OTHER NATURAL RESOURCES) A3h.1 INTRODUCTION The coasts and seas of the UK are intensively used for numerous activities of local, regional and national importance including coastally located power generators and process industries, port operations, shipping, oil and gas production, fishing, aggregate extraction, military practice, as a location for submarine cables and pipelines and for sailing, racing and other recreation. At a local scale, activities as diverse as saltmarsh, dune or machair grazing, seaweed harvesting or bait collection may be important. These activities necessarily interact at the coast and offshore and spatial conflicts can potentially arise. A key consideration of this SEA is the potential for plan elements to interact with other users and material assets, the nature and location of which are described below. A3h.2 PORTS AND SHIPPING A3h.2.1 Commercial ports UK ports are located around the coast, with their origin based on historic considerations including, principally, advantageous geography (major and other ports are indicated in Figure A3h.1 below). In 2007, some 582 million tonnes (Mt) of freight traffic was handled by UK ports, a slight decrease (ca. 2Mt) from that handled in 2006. The traffic handled in ports in England, Scotland and Wales was very similar in 2006 and 2007, differing by less than 0.5%. However, ports in Northern Ireland handled 2.5% less traffic in 2007, compared to in 2006. Over the last ten years, since 1997, inward traffic to UK ports has increased by 21% and outward traffic has decreased by 15%.

  • The Scottish Council
    SUBMISSION FROM SCOTTISH COUNCIL FOR DEVELOPMENT AND INDUSTRY Introduction 1. SCDI members welcome the inquiry on “Determining and Delivering Scotland’s Energy Future”. Energy is at present the top public policy priority for many in the Scottish economy. However, this inquiry is the latest in a plethora of inquiries, reviews and consultations in recent years. Discussions with SCDI members have revealed significant frustration that these are appearing more frequently and have an ever shorter shelf life, set out to determine the energy future but succeed neither in delivering short term action nor long term clarity, and often put the politics of the debate before the policy. The success of this inquiry report will be judged on whether action follows and on the durability of its influence. Committee members must be prepared to follow the evidence and agree positions which are independent of party policy. 2. The International Energy Agency (IEA) has said that world energy demand is predicted to increase by 55% between 2005 and 2030, with much of this growth in China and India. Demand will be overwhelmingly met by fossil fuels (84 per cent) and energy-related greenhouse gas emissions will rise by 57%. While debate on “peak oil” continues, the IEA has already said that the world “faces an unsustainable energy future if governments do not radically change their energy policies in the next 10 years.” The Stern Review of the Economics of Climate Change estimated that if there is no international action on climate change, the overall costs and risks will be equivalent to losing at least 5% of global GDP each year, now and forever.
