据能源之声意见专栏3月3日报道，苏格兰政府将在明天的预算案之前发出消息，称苏格兰企业必将获得能源转型努力的推动，这一消息已广受业界欢迎。
预计将有超过5700万英镑的投资有助于在关键部门创造本地就业机会，并对北海过渡协议表示欢迎，这标志着各国政府进一步认可化石燃料工业在国家能源未来发挥积极作用的雄心。
一年一度的联合国气候变化大会(COP26)将吸引国际社会对英国的关注，我们将展示石油和天然气生产国如何在促进就业、商业和社区的公平转型方面发挥带头作用。
化石燃料工业是一个经验丰富、前途光明的行业。在过去的50年里，该行业继续为数百万家庭提供负担得起的、安全的能源和产品。我们的供应链，在苏格兰东北部和整个英国的工业中心地区发展，已经发展出了出口到世界各地的技能和技术。
北海过渡协议是化石燃料部门与英国政府之间承诺合作的合作，将提供一次绝佳的机会，再次帮助改变我们的能源未来，使我们成为水下中心枢纽和低碳能源革命的领导者以及与能源过渡区公司之间的持续合作。
目前化石燃料工业为英国提供了约151,600个直接和间接就业机会，为英国经济贡献260亿英镑，其中包括2018年115亿英镑的出口额。

North Sea Transition Deal chance to transform UK fossil fuel industry
News ahead of tomorrow’s Budget that Scottish businesses are set to receive a boost to energy transition efforts have been widely welcomed by our industry.
With more than ￡57m of investment expected to help create?local?jobs in key sectors?and a welcome nod towards the North Sea Transition Deal, it signals further recognition by governments of our ambitions to play a positive role in the country’s energy future.
In a year where COP26 will draw international attention towards the UK, we are showing how oil and gas producing countries can lead the way with a fair transition which supports jobs, businesses and communities.
We’re an industry with experience and with a promising future. Over the past 50 years, we’ve continued to provide affordable and secure energy and products to millions of households. Our supply chain, developed in the North East Scotland and in industrial heartlands across the UK, has developed skills and technologies which are exported across the world.
The North Sea Transition deal, a cooperation of commitment between our sector and the UK government, will provide a prime opportunity to once again help transform our energy future, making us leaders in the low-carbon energy revolution with the development of an underwater hub and continued collaboration between companies in the Energy Transition Zone.
We currently support around 151,600 direct and indirect jobs in the UK and contribute ￡26 billion to the UK economy, including ￡11.5 billion in exports in 2018.
