BREAKING
New North Sea oil and gas licensing
Why it won’t boost energy security or protect jobs Energy policy, and specifically the future of the North Sea, is a clear dividing line between the main political parties in this general election. This short briefing looks at some of the claims being made, and if policies have popular support in Scotland.

➔ The North Sea is in decline: new licensing will provide just 4 days worth of extra gas a
year on average between now and 2050

➔ In the past decade, despite the government issuing hundreds of licences, the number
of jobs supported by the oil and gas industry has more than halved

➔ Two thirds of people in Scotland believe that more investment in renewables and
energy efficiency measures will provide Scotland with a secure and affordable energy system in the future.

This decline has not been effectively offset by increased jobs in other parts of the energy sector, revealing a failure to invest in transitioning the workforce – over 90% of whom want a clear path out of high carbon jobs – and the urgent need for a coherent transition plan for the North Sea.

The Scottish public favour a transition to clean energy Two thirds (67%) of people in Scotland believe that more investment in renewables and energy efficiency measures will provide Scotland with a secure and affordable energy system in the future, according to a major new Scottish poll.
This compares to fewer than a quarter (23%) thinking that more investment in North Sea oil and gas drilling is more likely to deliver energy security.
Over half (52%) of respondents under 35 support policies, such as an end to licensing, to encourage oil and gas companies to invest in renewables.
The research also showed that three quarters of those surveyed do not trust oil and gas companies to handle the green transition. Even in Aberdeen, just a fifth (21%) of respondents have faith in the
industry to ensure that the shift to clean energy benefits workers and communities dependent on the sector.
