A new screening tool developed by the North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA) will help to maximise the repurposing of oil and gas infrastructure for energy transition projects. Repurposing can make a huge contribution to the UK’s drive to net-zero, potentially generating multibillion-pound savings across carbon capture and storage (CCS) and hydrogen schemes which would otherwise require new equipment.
The Energy Integration Project brought together the OGA, BEIS, Ofgem, The Crown Estate and Crown Estate Scotland in a three-year study of energy integration opportunities on the UK Continental Shelf. The final publication (Phase 3) gives an overview of all that has been achieved in the study and highlights which project partners have worked together to support the practical implementation of energy integration projects.
