A North East Scotland focus

On 7th October 1970 the future of the North East of Scotland changed forever. The discovery of the Forties Field, and its successful development, drove the region - and with it the UK - into the spotlight of a new energy revolution. Just over fifty years on we are facing another distinctive challenge, in the form of reducing our carbon footprint to net zero by 2050 or sooner.

Once again North East Scotland will play a pivotal role as the energy transition takes shape, forging ahead to become globally recognised and an integrated energy cluster.

Engineering innovation, investment opportunities, and support for the UK supply chain will all be key. The challenges faced, knowledge gained, and skill sets acquired over the past 50 years places North East Scotland in pole position to lead the way in energy transition both nationally and globally.

About ETZ Ltd.

ETZ Ltd was created in April 2021 to deliver the North east of Scotland’s ambition to be a globally recognised centre for energy transition, with the Energy Transition Zone at the heart of a sustainable, global integrated energy cluster focused on net-zero activity.

The North East of Scotland is uniquely positioned within the UK to take advantage of this opportunity and cement its position as the net zero energy capital of Europe. With proven global expertise in delivering large offshore and onshore projects, the region has the existing world-class talent pool, business capability and infrastructure to deliver.

As we continue to transition from oil and gas, the ETZ will allow us to maintain and develop a world-class supply chain, drive exports and secure further green job and investment opportunities.

ETZ Ltd is a private sector led company. While commercially focused, it is a not-for-profit company and operates on the basis of no commercial gain, and any financial benefit both from the use of public sector funding or future funds will be re-invested into common interests for the benefit of all in development of energy transition activities.
