This report presents the analysis of health and safety incident data submitted by SafetyOn members and serves to highlight key risk areas that can inform SafetyOn’s future work programme. The report has been produced through collaboration across SafetyOn members gathering and sharing incident data to build a picture of performance, risk and trends across the onshore wind industry in the UK.

This report explores how to measure circular economy (CE) practices in the oil and gas (O&G) industry. Developed in partnership with Ipieca, it outlines how CE indicators, drawn from various existing frameworks, can be applied within the sector. The guidance introduces both qualitative and quantitative indicators that could help O&G companies assess the circularity of their assets and material in/out flows.

Through aligning the industry’s understanding of CE and providing a general approach to measuring circularity internally, the guidance ensures adherence to environmental standards, encourages innovation and fosters collaboration. Increasing the circularity of their production processes and products can support oil and gas companies to produce the energy the world needs, while reducing impacts on natural resources and biodiversity, and cutting emissions. As well as providing climate, environmental and social benefits, CE helps builds long-term resilience and generates business and economic opportunities.

This report helps oil and gas industry CE SMEs, waste professionals and corporate sustainability units to:

• Improve understanding of the various CE frameworks available
• Develop a CE strategy
• Improve their companies’ CE performance
• Measure, assess, report and steer on circularity internally

The Energy Institute’s (EI) Technical workshop proceedings – Groundwater protection policy at multi-fuel stations, brought together participants from industry, regulators, consultants, trade bodies, and local authorities across the UK. Organised by the EI’s Soil, Waste and Groundwater (SWG) group, the workshop focused on groundwater protection within the evolving energy landscape, including low-carbon fuels, electric vehicle (EV) charging, and hydrogen. It built on the 2018 joint industry-regulator workshop, reflecting developments in regulation, technology, and sustainability.
