The Scottish government provides £26m for the Aberdeen Energy Transition Zone to aid the move away from oil and gas.

The Scottish government money comes from its five-year £62m energy transition fund.

The fund has already provided £6.5m for a global underwater hub as well as £4.65m to Aberdeen City Council to expand its hydrogen bus fleet.Getty ImagesThe oil and gas industry is estimated to support more than 20,000 direct jobs in the Aberdeen area Net Zero, Energy and Transport Secretary Michael Matheson said: "The Scottish government is wholly committed to ending our contribution to climate change by 2045, and doing so in a way that ensures a just transition to net-zero, making sure no-one is left behind.

"One year ago, we launched the £62 million energy transition fund, recognising the impact of Covid-19 on the energy, but also the need to support our energy sector to grow and transition in a fair way.""By capitalising on our strengths in energy, innovation, and our skilled workforce, Scotland can show the rest of the world how it's done - and ensure our people, businesses and communities are at the forefront of our new green economy," he said.

"The north east is uniquely positioned within Scotland and the UK to take advantage of this great opportunity. As we continue to transition from oil and gas, the Energy Transition Zone will enable us to develop a world-class supply chain and create significant new green employment and investment opportunities."The Scottish government has set itself. Figures for 2019 show they fell 51.5% against the baseline, well short of the 55% target.

Seems more Scottish people pay for foreign investment & jobs. Pity investors in people but not their own as usual with this Gov folk. Be nice if they employ Scottish people instead.

So that is where the missing money covid money got funneled to....

Hopefully they'll have some way cheaper reliable fossil fuel power sources backing it all up....
