Environmental Regulations in Aberdeen
Aberdeen operates under SEPA regulation, with PPC Scotland Regulations governing industrial permitting. Aberdeen City Council applies environmental conditions through the Aberdeen Local Development Plan, and the city's LEZ is planned for the city centre. SEPA's North region manages permits for the region's energy, food processing, and manufacturing sectors.
Key Industries We Support in North East Scotland
Aberdeen's environmental testing demand is dominated by the oil, gas, and energy sector — including offshore support facilities, gas processing terminals, and energy transition projects (hydrogen, CCS). The city also has significant food processing, fish processing, and whisky distilling operations requiring emissions monitoring. Offshore decommissioning generates new environmental assessment requirements.
Local Challenges & Our Advantage
Aberdeen's energy sector operates under both SEPA and OPRED (Offshore Petroleum Regulator) frameworks, requiring consultants with cross-regulatory experience. Harsh coastal weather conditions create logistical challenges for stack testing, while the energy transition is generating new permit types and assessment requirements for hydrogen and CCUS projects.
