The National Decommissioning Centre (NDC)

The National Decommissioning Centre (NDC) is a partnership between the University of Aberdeen, the Net Zero Technology Centre (NZTC) and industry, part of the Aberdeen City Region Deal. The NDC is working in partnership with the energy sector to lead research and development that supports the sector to achieve cost and emissions reductions, improve environmental outcomes and transform approaches to deliver sustainable net zero decommissioning. The NDC builds on the world-leading R&D capability at the University of Aberdeen in areas such as decommissioning technologies, predictive modelling, environmental assessment and the economics and regulatory aspects of decommissioning. The NDC collaborates nationally and globally with universities, R&D institutions, and innovation centres active in decommissioning and energy transition, and partners with fishing, marine, safety and environment organisations.
