Energy Security and Net Zero Committee Actual start House of Commons
09:53 - 10:25
Speaker 1
Welcome to this afternoon's session of the Energy Security and Net Zero Select Committee. And we are in the Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen this afternoon for our session, which is on managing the future of UK oil and gas. And a big thank you to our hosts for putting us up today.
And for our first panel, I will ask you to introduce yourselves, please, starting with Russell.
10:25 - 10:58
Speaker 2
Yeah, good afternoon, Russell Borthwick, Chief Executive at Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce. We represent 1,400 companies doing business in the region, collectively employing over 100,000 people. About 30% of those companies operate directly in oil, gas, and other energy-related technologies, but therefore 70% don't. So our interest is very much as a place-based organisation,
and the impact of getting the future of our energy system right or wrong will have significant impact on our members and on the regional economy.
