Net Zero Technology Centre has shared more details about its new commercial model and plans to shift operations to Bridge of Don.

NZTC's £180 million government-backed funding package comes to an end in March 2027, with dozens of jobs already cut amid the transition.

The organisation said a new large-scale testing facility at the former Weatherford site, centred around a 32-metre drilling rig, will help secure its long-term future.

David Cameron, NZTC head of industry and commercial projects, said: “This move marks a pivotal moment in our evolution.

“Transitioning to a commercially sustainable model allows us to continue supporting the energy sector with world-class testing facilities, while driving innovation in net zero and beyond.

“Investment in this facility, including the installation of a full-scale drilling rig and advanced testing infrastructure, demonstrates our commitment to supporting the energy sector through its transition to net zero.”
