2019 the oil and gas authority estimated there were between $10.00 to $20000000000.00 barrels of oil still to be recovered in the north sea. in fact, as i speak as a bit underway to open up the john's combo oil field, about 250 kilometers to the north of here around the shetland islands. but the reality is says the move away from fossil fuels gathers pace. sites like this will become more and more common. whitely wind farms, south of glasgow, the 2nd largest onshore wind farm in europe. across scotland, wind power is a big part of the energy mix in a country that's aiming to be carbon neutral by 20455 years ahead of much of the world here. 215 turbines generate enough power 435-0000 homes. in 2020, nearly 100 percent of scotland energy came from renewable sources. which raises the

question why the need to invest in new oil field at all? this is a, by all of us getting on the same journey. okay, and getting on the revolution because it's more of a revolution than a journey. in all honesty, i'm to 2050 and that's the target is to get us the 2015. net 0 by 2050. so you can't just switch everything off immediately. so oil and gas production is still a massive part of the economy. it's a massive part of her, we holmes, are wholly fuel or transport system. so we need to go in that transition. we need to go not revolution, and that will happen over a period of time. back in chrome, it's even the yellow stanchions of offshore wind turbine. stan sentinel, ready to be deployed out at sea, where the petroleum platform has rained for decades. and as the all rick becomes slowly redundant, the renewable sector is expanding a pace the re plans here in the furth for a hydrogen hub, and to create a base for floating wind farm. but the transition away from fossil feels needs to

be carefully managed to make that a success for everybody involved, including the workers, we need to make sure it is good quality jobs for them to move into. that means that renewables need to be creating enough jobs and that she has to be a pathway so that people can move from the fossil fuel jobs. pedigreed drugs, there is no doubt about the direction scotland is heading in. the question is, how far behind will the rest of the world be? mcclark al jazeera company, furth, scott, inventors for more than 40 countries in cat, r. r. r cutter, excuse me for week long form on technology. super computers, cloud technology and robots are among the innovations on display. victoria getting be reports from dell ha. i smell must re has come from garza to cattle looking for investment. he's invented a robotic glove that is designed to help palestinian people whose hands are paralyzed through injuries sustained during conflicts with israel. i hope we can

as an inventor, it's very hard to start up your company. so what you are doing here? we bring the inventors and with coal, a lot of research and starts up companies to meet them. and we hope it will be sort of a new business for him. it's hope this will become an annual event. the winners will be announced in a weeks time, victoria gate, and be al jazeera, doha ah, hello again. bad lines on al jazeera. iraq's leaders have condemned with their calling an assassination attempt on the prime minister as a sheena and cowardly attack arm drones targeted muster, valcall them, his residence in bagdad green zone, in the.
