Here’s a flyover video showing the latest developments in the beach development works. Three key sites are being worked on – either side of the Boulevard and Broad Hill - as part of a £50million programme to help make the beach area a must-visit destination. The major improvements will see the creation of a class-leading beach park, a large events field and the enhancement of the famed Broadhill in Phase A of the beachfront works. The works are part of the biggest redevelopment of Aberdeen beachfront for 35 years as part of Aberdeen City Council’s City Centre and Beach Master Plan (CCBMP).

A ‘Team Aberdeen’ of academics, students and energy business experts joined Aberdeen City Council representatives this week at the world’s premier energy conference in Houston. The Aberdeen delegation at the CERAWeek Conference comprised representatives from the Council, including Council Co-leader Councillor Christian Allard, the Net Zero Technology Centre, Peterson Energy Logistics, Robert Gordon University, and the University of Aberdeen. Councillor Allard was present during two panel sessions at the conference and the diverse group worked to underline Aberdeen’s credentials as one of the world’s leading energy cities. Robert Gordon University student Lara Pedrosa, whose participation at the conference along with fellow Msc students Alex Sinclair and Erin Koon was made possible with the support of the SRM Foundation, said before the event: “Absolutely thrilled to be part of the NEXTGen cohort.” “I’m looking forward to understanding how energy leaders are using data and AI to aid energy transition and what may be applicable to Aberdeen in its own journey. “I’m excited to engage with experts and academics from a range of disciplines centred around energy transition. I am extremely grateful to the SRM Foundation and Robert Gordon University for creating this opportunity and supporting me throughout the week.” Councillor Allard said: “The world faces the pressing challenges of climate change and the need for sustainable and secure energy solutions. The importance of collaboration in the energy transition has never been more critical. “We seek to innovate, implement, and scale the technologies and practices that will drive a cleaner, more resilient energy future investment in the city, bringing the world of oil gas and renewable energy together for a just transition as well as bringing people back to Offshore Europe in Aberdeen in September. “No single organisation will achieve Net Zero on their own, all of the energy sector is mobilised to achieve this in Aberdeen. It’s collaboration from the public and private sector, like we’re seeing here in Houston this week, and a ‘Team Aberdeen’ approach that will ensure we meet our Net Zero and Climate goals.” As a founding member of the World Energy Cities Partnership (WECP), Aberdeen attends CERAWeek in Houston to participate in the conference and the annual WECP Board Working Group. The world cities of the partnership are home to many of the world’s largest energy companies which are leading initiatives to build a lower-carbon energy future, developing the full range of energy sources to power the world today and into tomorrow.
