Global energy challenges, regional technology perspectives

Against the backdrop of COP27, NZTC along with 12 international research and technology organisations launched a collaborative report to outline and compare approaches from traditionally oil and gas producing basins as they transition to net zero integrated energy systems.

The report ‘Closing the Gap: A Global Perspective’ identified global innovation priorities and five international collaboration actions across traditional hydrocarbon basins, including blue and green hydrogen, offshore wind, oil and gas electrification, digital transformation technologies, and carbon capture and storage to achieve the Paris Agreement emissions targets and create integrated net zero energy systems.

This welcome report highlights the importance of global collaboration in developing and deploying technology to accelerate the transition to net zero. The Net Zero Technology Centre has worked hard to build international connections and networks, maximising the opportunities of COP26 in Glasgow and COP27.
