<p>Further development of oil and gas fields on the UK Continental Shelf is compatible with delivering net zero, and the expected emissions from future projects are factored into the UK’s carbon budgets. The North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA) sets out how new fields are aligned with the North Sea Transition Deal emissions reduction target in its annual <a href="https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nstauthority.co.uk%2Fnews-publications%2Femissions-monitoring-report-2023%2F&data=05%7C02%7CParliamentary.PQ%40energysecurity.gov.uk%7Ce48e63186d5043d8eb1208dc1123795c%7Ccbac700502c143ebb497e6492d1b2dd8%7C0%7C0%7C638404091253268843%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=%2B8%2BYby%2F1gXKvQf7WjBSP0jlUPabR3eUWsiFEr4cxEMg%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank">Emissions Monitoring Report</a>.</p><p> </p><p>Rosebank is expected to be significantly less emissions intensive than the current average of producing assets, due to greater operational efficiencies and emissions mitigations measures. It will be electrification-ready, with Equinor expecting emissions to fall to 3kgCO2 per barrel if electrification proceeds.</p>
