Abstract

Plans to achieve clean power and transition to a low carbon economy are accelerating in many nations and regions, not least Shetland, an island economy rich in natural assets, including extensive wind power, a highly skilled but mobile workforce, and important existing infrastructure. The latter includes the Sullom Voe Terminal, where plans are afoot to transition from mid-stream oil and gas supply activity to low carbon fuel production and carbon storage, and a range of port and harbour facilities, with investment plans already in place to develop an ultra-deep-water quay at Dales Voe to support both offshore wind development and oil and gas decommissioning.
