The Scottish Government is being urged to speak out against controversial plans to develop a new oilfield – with campaigners claiming an area of land larger than all of Scotland would be needed to counteract emissions from the proposed Cambo development.
If given the go-ahead, the site, in the waters off Shetland, could yield as many as 255 million barrels of oil over its lifetime, environmental campaigners at Oxfam Scotland said.
And they estimated that the 132 million tonnes of CO2 emissions that could be produced would require an area of land some 1.5 times the size of Scotland to counteract them.
Jamie Livingstone, the head of Oxfam Scotland, said in the run-up to the Cop26 climate summit in November that the UK Government must “intervene in the Cambo case and stop its climate credibility going up in smoke”.

SNP Net Zero Secretary Michael Matheson said COP26 presents Scotland with “a unique opportunity to show leadership on climate action on the international stage”. But worries have been raised about the Government’s progress in meeting climate targets. The fears emerged as the Scottish Government refused to oppose plans to expand an oil field near Shetland with a spokesperson stressing that any support for fossil fuel extraction “is conditional upon them contributing to a sustainable and inclusive energy transition”.
