Developed by the Net Zero Technology Centre (NZTC) in partnership with the North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA) , the Emissions Measuring and Monitoring Technology roadmap includes over 45 current and emerging technologies, ranging from in-situ sensors and handheld instruments to drones, plane and satellites. These hold the potential to play a pivotal role in emissions monitoring and reduction due to their ability to provide accurate, timely data which is essential for identifying and mitigating environmental impacts.

In this episode, NZTC’s Stephen Sheal interviews the NSTA’s Metering Manager, Douglas Griffin and NZTC’s Head of Technology Services, Niki Chambers, as they provide insight on the creation and delivery of the roadmap, from the current and upcoming technologies to the crucial data and insights North Sea operators require.

The Net Zero Technology Centre’s Hydrogen Backbone Link project explores the critical hydrogen transport infrastructure which has the potential to unlock Scotland’s hydrogen economy by providing 10% of Europe’s projected hydrogen demand by the mid-2030s and support 300,000 green jobs by 2045.

In this episode, NZTC’s Head of Marketing and Communications Katie Begg interviews Innovation Manager Jason Paterson, as they explore everything from the infrastructure and routing required, the investment needed for a new pipeline, to the benefits and opportunities Scotland would gain as a hydrogen exporter, and what phase two of the project is going to look like

Shared data platforms will be crucial in improving efficiency, innovation and ultimately, in accelerating the energy transition. Our latest Transition Talks episode explores two key projects that are making significant advancements in this area: NZTC’s Offshore Energy Data Architecture (OEDA), and the Open Surface Data Universe (OSDU).

Together Blair O’Connor, Project Manager at NZTC, Stephen Roebuck, Co-Founder at InDHu, Silas O’Dea, Partner at Baringa Partners and Tim Hunter-Rowe, Head of Knowledge & Data Stores at bp, discuss the projects’ shared challenges and opportunities, and the future of facilitating and enabling data sharing across the sector.

In our latest episode of Transition Talks, we’re joined by Sian Lloyd Rees, UK MD for Mainstream Offshore and Aker Horizon. Sian provides us with insights on how industry can enable the oil and gas supply chain to transition, the ins and outs of working with government as well as her own experience with diversity and inclusion within the energy sector.

During Offshore Europe 2023, NZTC’s Stephen Sheal caught up with a range of industry experts to discuss all things tech and energy transition.

In the latest episode of Transition Talks Stephen Sheal is joined by David Whitehouse, Chief Executive Officer at OEUK. David provides an insightful look into his views on the polarising debate surrounding the role of oil and gas within the energy transition, why we should be speeding up the pace and provides a deep dive into the North Sea Transition Deal.

Stephen Flynn, SNP’s Westminster Leader, joins Stephen Sheal to look at the impact the energy sector has on Aberdeen and the wider Northeast area, the future role of the North Sea, the importance of government support for industry and the realities of achieving a just transition within Scotland.

In the latest episode of our podcast, Stephen Sheal is joined by former NZTC CEO Colette Cohen OBE. Reflecting on her journey with the Centre, from humble beginnings to a leading technology development and innovation facility, Colette discusses the highlights of her time as CEO, the establishment of the acclaimed TechX Start-up Accelerator and the pivotal need to prioritise diversity and inclusion initiatives.
