Visual Primer: U.S. Expedites Efforts to Expand Offshore Wind Energy. The Biden administration continues to advance policies and programs to catalyze offshore wind deployment to achieve the goal of deploying 30 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind energy capacity by 2030 and 15 GW of floating offshore wind energy capacity by 2035. States are also expediting offshore wind procurement efforts to align with ambitious deployment goals.

📊 Market Intelligence Report – April The April edition of Global Underwater Hub’s monthly Market Intelligence Report is available to read online. It provides a summary of recent contract awards and project updates from across the global energy industry, including oil and gas, offshore wind, and wave and tidal. Highlights include news of a final investment decision being made on a Norwegian oil and gas development and a series of contract awards across a field in Guyana. There were major announcements made in the offshore wind sector, particularly floating offshore wind. Progress in the wave and tidal sector also continues to be made, with project milestones and early-stage agreements being reached. Access to Global Underwater Hub’s full Market Intelligence Platform is free for member companies. 📲 Read online: https://lnkd.in/e7qSGKAS #GlobalUnderwaterHub #GUHMarketIntelligence #Marketintelligence #AccessConnectGrow #offshorerenewables #oilandgas #waveandtidal

The 3-MW floating wind turbine is part of a pilot project by TotalEnergies and should be operational by the end of this year, the company reported. It will be connected to the Culzean offshore platform in the United Kingdom region of the North Sea. Once operational, the aim is to power 20% of the Culzean platform’s power requirement with renewable, carbon-free energy and thus reducing carbon emissions. The wind turbine will be installed on a modular, light semi-submersible floater hull designed by Ocergy. The pilot project was selected in Crown Estate Scotland’s Innovation and Targeted Oil and Gas leading round of funding decisions. Culzean is a gas condensate field located in the North Sea some 230 kilometers off the coast of Aberdeen, Scotland. TotalEnergies’ production platform was commissioned five years ago and produces close to 105,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, according to the company. Despite a global push toward net zero emissions in the energy sector as early as 2050, most forecasts acknowledge that oil and gas will continue to make up a significant share of the energy mix at that point. Natural gas currently accounts for nearly 40% of the resources generating the U.S. electricity mix, according to the federal Energy Information Administration. IHS Markit noted several years ago that the number of traditional oil and gas companies using field-based renewables has expanded beyond isolated projects. Global-scale players such as ExxonMobil, BP and Shell are exploring renewable or lower carbon energy investments, including hydrogen production as well as solar and wind. Others such as NRG, Valero and Occidental are exploring decarbonization through carbon capture projects. TotalEnergies is one of the seven biggest global oil and gas companies. Its revenues topped US$250 billion in 2022, according to reports.

In a recent interview, Director Kevin Sligh provides unique insights into BSEE’s efforts to encourage a culture of safety across all aspects of offshore energy production, and in particular the unique challenges facing renewable energy as wind power production ramps up on the Outer Continental Shelf. BSSE: The offshore wind industry must become more proactive (safety4sea.com) As BSEE works to advance the Biden-Harris administration’s offshore wind energy goal with the deployment of 30 gigawatts of offshore wind energy capacity by 2030 and 15 gigawatts of floating offshore wind capacity by 2035, Director Sligh noted that all energy producers offshore must build a risk management model that endures and prioritizes safety. With BSEE’s mission expanded to include OCS renewable energy oversight, and the first two offshore wind projects producing commercial energy, it is no longer a question of “when” or “if.” BSEE is using its institutional experience to ensure the same level of safety and environmental protection in the renewable energy arena as we’ve done overseeing conventional energy.

#Philippines #offshorewind DoE confirms commerciality for 3 offshore wind power projects. The project consortium — consisting of local developer Triconti Windkraft Group (Triconti), Liechtenstein-based offshore wind specialist Sea Wind Holdings (Seawind) and Swiss renewable energy group Stream Invest Holding (Stream) — are ready to include these projects in the country's first Green Energy Auction for Offshore Wind, targeted for 2025 by the DoE. These three projects — all using fixed-bottom foundations — are trailblazers in the Philippines' offshore wind energy sector. https://lnkd.in/ge-8Rr6E

There isn’t a silver bullet for achieving the energy transition and net zero. Believing so is akin to placing all our eggs in one basket. Collaborating between sectors is one way to bridge the gaps #UKETO #UK_ETO #EnergyTransition #OffshoreWind #FossilFuels

The #offshorewind sector is expected to make a strong recovery from the setbacks of the previous year as governments reassess their offshore #wind targets for 2030. Bidders will also play a crucial role in determining price dynamics, a key theme for 2024. Discover other key themes and how they will transform the offshore wind energy market landscape this upcoming year. Find out more: https://okt.to/RZ7Ovb
