UK scenarios for the phase-out of oil and gas

The document outlines the need for co-created transition pathways for the UK's oil and gas sector to align with net-zero emissions goals, presenting results from a May 2022 workshop that examined a "median anticipated pathway" and a "rapid exit" scenario.

• The International Energy Agency's May 2021 roadmap for global net-zero emissions by 2050 indicates that investment in new oil and gas fields is incompatible with decarbonisation levels required by the Paris Agreement.
• Despite early ambitions, the United Kingdom has seen slow practical action and heated debate regarding the phase-out of oil and gas, necessitating the exploration of transition scenarios.
• A May 2022 scenario workshop evaluated two specific pathways for the UK's oil and gas phase-out: a "rapid exit" and a "median anticipated pathway".
