MEMBER NEWS: J+S Subsea recognised for sustainability in decommissioning work

In the energy industry’s only awards dedicated to decommissioning excellence, J+S Subsea has been shortlisted for the Sustainability Award.

The Decom North Sea Awards celebrate innovation and success in the decommissioning sector. J+S Subsea has been announced as a finalist for our significant impact in the last year in driving energy efficiencies, the circular economy or decarbonisation aligned with the energy transition.

Our fellow finalists are ASCO and TAQA UK/AFOD, and the winner is announced at the Decom Awards on 16 May at Ardoe House Hotel in Aberdeen.
Business development director Lucinda Craig said: “It is so gratifying to get this sort of recognition from within the industry for our sustainability initiatives.

“For J+S Subsea, our core work in oil and gas has expanded with decommissioning projects as well as a strategic move into supporting the offshore renewables sector.

“Our commitment to the net zero journey is demonstrated by our innovative Legacy Locker project, which runs alongside our other industry-leading initiatives.”

Now in its sixth year, the Decom Awards are awarded in five categories: Emerging Professional in Decommissioning, The Decom North Sea Photography Award, Innovation in Decommissioning, Sustainability, and the Decom North Sea Member Award.

Get in touch

AREG is the original energy transition organisation, working on behalf of members to empower the energy supply chain and champion its expertise. Please get in touch if you have any questions or would like to find out more about membership.

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
