About
RGU is committed to supporting the Scottish Government’s ambition to achieve net zero emissions by 2045. RGU Net Zero is the university’s framework to deliver its commitment through its operations, academic offer and its thriving innovation environment.
The combination of COVID-19, the energy transition, technology & innovation and changing industry dynamics is fundamentally re-shaping the future of the UK’s energy sector.
With over £170 billion projected to be invested on capital and operating activities in the UK offshore energy sector between 2021 and 2030 (including on oil and gas, offshore wind, carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS) and hydrogen), there will be many new opportunities for the UK offshore energy workforce.
The RGU UK Offshore Energy Workforce Transferability Review highlights that around 200,000 skilled people are projected to be required in the UK offshore energy industry to ensure delivery in 2030. The review also envisages that the offshore energy workforce mix is expected to change significantly, with jobs in the offshore renewables sector increasing from 20% of the sector’s roles in 2021 to c. 65% by 2030.
