Call for Evidence: Future of the UK downstream oil sector

Overview

We are seeking evidence to inform an upcoming strategy for the downstream oil sector. This is an opportunity for stakeholders across industry with an interest in the future of this sector to provide evidence as to how the sector can grow and adapt to the changing energy landscape.

Why your views matter

We are interested in your perspective and experience be that as an academic, consumer advocate, or industry member across the downstream oil sector (e.g. feedstock supply, production, import and export, transport and logistics, storage and distribution, retail and final consumer), as well as stakeholders that directly or indirectly support the downstream oil sector (e.g. local community organisations, petrochemical production, hydrogen suppliers).

 In answering the following questions, where possible please share any data or other evidence you have that supports your view. Additionally, as we are gathering evidence on the future of the downstream oil sector, please try to set aside shorter-term considerations (unless stated otherwise) in favour of medium and long-term considerations, out to 2050.
