Scottish Investment Bank Financial Readiness Service Strategic Review: Final report to Scottish Enterprise
This report summarises the findings and recommendations from a Strategic Review of the Scottish Investment Bank (SIB) Financial Readiness Service (FRS). FRS delivers a range of advisory support through specialists and grants for third party support to businesses to equip clients to better assimilate and present the information required for potential funders. Support is provided to all types of business (growing, seeking to re-finance, facing financial challenges etc). The report covers activity between April 2014 and March 2017 and considers the current rationale for support, effectiveness and efficiency, and economic benefits. -
Subsea engineering opportunity: International Market Insights Report series – summary report
Scottish Enterprise (SE) has undertaken a review of non-oil and gas subsea sectors that have the potential to provide diversification and internationalisation opportunities for the Scottish oil and gas (O&G) subsea engineering supply chain. This summary report outlines the results of the sectors investigated and highlights where SE sees the most immediate opportunities as well as longer term interests. It considers both the synergies between the investigated sectors and the subsea engineering O&G supply chain and the interest and/or resource in the international geographies that present potential markets. The non-oil and gas sectors considered include: offshore wind; marine renewable energy; aquaculture; carbon capture, utilisation and storage; O&G decommissioning; nuclear decommissioning; water and wastewater; ocean science; and seabed mining. -
Subsea engineering opportunity: International Market Insights Report series - marine renewable energy
This report is part of a series of reports considering the opportunities for the Scottish oil and gas (O&G) subsea supply chain in other subsea and related markets. It covers the marine renewable energy (MRE) sector, also known as Ocean Energy. This includes various technology categories including: tidal stream/currents; tidal range; ocean currents; wave energy; ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC); and salinity gradient. The report looks at the international activity in each of the sectors, including where there is current activity and where there is the potential for activity based on published targets and available resource and opportunity. -
Subsea engineering opportunity: International Market Insights Report series - seabed mining, mineral extraction and methane hydrates
This report is part of a series of reports considering the opportunities for the Scottish oil and gas (O&G) subsea supply chain in other subsea and related markets. It covers seabed mining (SBM) – which is the extraction of minerals from deposits on the seafloor – and focuses in particular on Deep Sea Mining (DSM), which occurs at water depths in excess of 500 m. It also covers the extraction of methane hydrates. The report looks at the international activity in each of the sectors, including where there is current activity and where there is the potential for activity based on published targets and available resource and opportunity. -
Subsea engineering opportunity: International Market Insights Report series - carbon capture, utilisation and storage
This report is part of a series of reports considering the opportunities for the Scottish oil and gas (O&G) subsea supply chain in other subsea and related markets. It covers carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS), which is the removal of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) from emission streams or the environment, its transportation and then subsequent use and/or storage. The report focuses specifically on the subsea elements of the CCUS sector, i.e. transportation, some uses and storage aspects. It provides an overview the CCUS sector, looks at current activity, and where there is potential for activity.
