NSTA says production emissions fell last year but it will be a 'challenge' to sustain reductions.
Greenhouse gases from extracting oil and gas account for about 4% of the UK's total, which is about the same as a third of all Scotland's emissions.
Almost three-quarters of those emissions come from generating power to run the installations, with gas flaring accounting for a further 22%. "Energy security is more sharply in focus than ever and the NSTA is working closely with industry and government to bring new oil and gas projects online and bolster UK energy supply. This vital work sits alongside emissions reduction goals."
But the energy security crisis sparked by the war in Ukraine means the North Sea is now running at near full capacity.Total emissions for the UK oil and gas sector have fallen by 21.5% since the industry's benchmark year of 2018.
