Oil & Gas DecommissioningThe facts
• 302 platforms, UKCS1
• Decommissioning projected to cost between £30 - £35 billion between 2010 and 2040
• 405,000 tonnes of material will be transported onshore between 2014 and 2023; ~98% recycled

Oil & Gas DecommissioningThe opportunity
• Circular approach could add at least £161m - £629m to end of life value of assets deployed in “Scottish” waters alone
• Large opportunity for re-use of steel infrastructure
• Potential for skills gap to be filled by Scottish SMEs

Oil & Gas DecommissioningThe barriers
• Industry perception of decompurely as a “cost”
• Limited industry experience withcircular business models
• Limited reprocessing facilities in Scotland (and the whole of the UK)

Offshore Wind DecommissioningThe facts
• 1,463 operational offshore wind turbines, 20 offshore substations and 56 export cables (Dec 2015)1
• Capacity set to double by 2020
• 83% by weight (excl. foundation) is recycled; only 8% is reused

Offshore Wind DecommissioningThe opportunity
• Steel reprocessing
• Energy from waste for composites
• Market for 2nd hand turbines

Offshore Wind DecommissioningThe barriers
• Offshore market is still relativelyyoung
• Difficulties facing re-certificationof used equipment
• Little incentive for manufacturers

So what are we contending with?Hurdles to establishing circular decom models
• Lack of awareness
• Not always a priority for major players
• Need for infrastructure, business development, & often times certification
