Fast-track Renewables
The Climate Emergency means we have to move away from fossil fuels asap. Russia’s war means we have to be self-sufficient in energy, therefore we must go all out to create resilience, capacity and storage solutions and fast-track development of renewables, whether wind, wave or hydrogen.
Scotland must obtain maximum benefit from this development so we need to nurture home-grown industries and local employment. Outsourcing needs to be strictly regulated to ensure massive profits do not flow overseas.

Why the contribution is important
We need to respond to the climate emergency and reduce our susceptibility to external shocks.

Whatever Scotland's Just Transition eventually looks like, EMEC has all the attributes and international reputation to play a crucial role in transforming not just Scotland's energy sector but the world's. Many of us in Scotland haven't heard of EMEC and the O2 because until very recently they haven't received the government support a facility of this calibre deserves at a UK level (Contracts for Difference). Integrating EMEC into the Just Transition energy strategy will help accelerate the progress of the organisation and its clients, strengthen the diversity and output of the Scottish manufacturing/engineering sector and propel us more rapidly towards a net zero society.
