Renewable Offshore Energy Generation and Storage
Conventional energy generation is based on fossil fuels, which causes a plethora of environmental issues. In Norway alone, offshore petrochemical extraction was responsible for 26.7% of total greenhouse gas emissions in 2020. The majority of these emissions were caused by gas turbines installed on offshore platforms.
Recognizing the scale of climate change and the key role played by offshore oil and gas extraction, there has been an increased…
