Welcome to the summer issue of Insight. In March, the UK Government set out its plans to enhance energy security, seize the economic opportunities of the transition to climate neutrality, and deliver on its net zero commitments in a new policy paper titled ‘Powering Up Britain’. It also published a response to the independent review of its net zero strategy expressing agreement that decisive action is needed to seize the growth opportunity that net zero presents in the 21st century. In this issue of Insight, we explore emerging trends in the supply and demand of petroleum products, the strategic role of the bulk storage and energy infrastructure sector in the energy transition as well as the opportunities for industry as it looks to the future. I hope you enjoy this new edition of the magazine and don’t forget to follow us on social media for all our latest news.

Peter Davidson, Executive Director of the Tank Storage Association, said: “Thisyear’seventallowsustoconsider latest innovations and developments in the bulk liquid storage industry, while also highlighting our focus on the future of the sector in the journey to climate neutrality. The tank storage industry is an essential part of the UK’s energy infrastructure, providing resilient, innovative and flexible solutions to the energy, industrial, transport and defence sectors. The industry has a key role to play in the energy transition and in creating the necessary infrastructure flexibility to manage change in support of the UK’s net-zero goals. Terminals are also an essential part of global infrastructure networks, ensuring that bulk liquids, from transport and heating fuels, chemicals, animal feed and foodstuffs, are supplied when they are needed in the quantities required.
