Siemens Gamesa and Siemens Energy have promised to unlock a new era of offshore green hydrogen production with the creation of a “game changing” solution.
Emerging technologies will be key to delivering the Government’s decarbonisation strategy and 2050 zero-carbon target, according to energy experts at Pinsent Masons.
Scotland’s green hydrogen capabilities could “significantly contribute” towards domestic and international net zero targets through the decarbonisation of heavy industry.
Japan will aim to more than quadruple offshore wind generation capacity in the decade to 2040 under plans to meet its mid-century emissions reduction target.
Just a few days ago Rystad Energy said the world was fast running out of heavy lift vessels capable of handling the accelerating boom in offshore windfarm investment and construction.
Reflecting on Oil and Gas UK’s prediction that North Sea projects could take up to three years to return, the industry body’s chief executive, Deirdre Michie, said, “we have to start the year more positively than that.”
The announcement of financial close for a major North Sea development proves that “mega projects are the way to go”, according to a renewable energy expert.
