Prospects for Grangemouth: risks, opportunities and policy options >> Green Alliance briefing

The Grangemouth industrial complex in Scotland has been in the headlines throughout 2025 as its refinery closed and over 400 workers lost their jobs. While some have blamed net zero, the site’s owner was clear: aging infrastructure and uncompetitive operations were the cause.

Watching the Scunthorpe situation drag on is painful, even from a distance. An enduring solution is needed after years of the steel industry, workers & local communities being on a rollercoaster journey of ups and (mostly) downs. But some of the discussion hasn’t stuck to the facts. 1/5

Closing the Grangemouth refinery will be incredibly difficult for workers and the local community. It’s good that plans are being made to find new uses for the site, but these have started late and without much transparency. Workers and local people should be at the heart of the conversation. 1/4

Transport emissions are off track. We need more policy that cuts emissions more quickly to meet our net zero strategy targets. In this context, expanding Heathrow and other airports would be a reckless move. For a menu of ideas you could do check out our report 👇

Not a great message to green investors now turning away from the US: "we're not too serious about net zero, we'd sooner have a row about a carbon budget-busting airport expansion that won't happen for years, if ever". We need a serious (green) growth strategy. www.ft.com/content/a83f...
