Scottish figures call for coordinated transition away from fossil fuels, focusing on Grangemouth refinery's future.

Former SNP candidate Miriam Brett and other Scottish figures are calling for a coordinated approach between the Scottish and UK governments to transition away from fossil fuels and invest in future infrastructure. Business leaders in Scotland and the UK largely support ending new oil and gas licensing in the North Sea. The future of the Grangemouth oil refinery, which is set to close next spring, is a key focus, with trade unions and some businesses pushing for its conversion to produce sustainable fuels. A Dubai firm has also shown interest in purchasing the refinery.
