Assessing the role that a CO2 transport and storage sector could play in transitioning away from oil and gas extraction
March 2024
This brief produced by the Centre for Energy Policy explores the opportunities that could emerge from the transition away and decline of the oil and gas industry and assesses the role that a nascent CO2 transport and storage sector could play in ensuring the continued employment of infrastructure, supply chain and workforces. This will be particularly important in the current context of persistent skills and worker shortages which could hinder industrial decarbonisation efforts and constrain the extent of wider economic gains.
