The UK's Path to a Net-Zero Future

As ambitions of governments to reduce carbon dioxide emissions are made in this year of COP 26, and targets are being announced by a number of countries, including the UK to drive towards net zero emissions by 2050, we have seen announcements made which will see the reduction of support for the wider oil and gas industry both here in the UK and overseas. The impacts could potentially be felt by all involved in the sector, and during this podcast, we will explore and discuss what the future holds for the industry and the supply chain.

Joining us in this discussion are the following speakers:
