Oil and gas onshore terminals have been critical for the UK energy security to date, and may have a very significant role in accelerating the UK energy transition.

One paragraph describing what is the current status of the onshore oil and gas terminals infrastructure as aggregate

A second paragraph will introduce the opportunity to repurpose these terminals into onshore energy transition hubs, and will act as a descriptor for the map picture
