In focus: In pursuit of carbon-neutrality – the holy grail of energy transition
In this week’s edition of our In Focus article, we take a deep dive into the most relevant developments from the energy world targeting emission cuts.
The oil was purchased by Saras S.p.A from the company’s Edvard Grieg field offshore Norway, which according to Lundin Energy, is the first oil field in the world to be independently certified by Intertek Group, under its CarbonClear certification.
As explained, residual emissions of 2,302 tonnes of CO2 resulting from the oil production were compensated through a high-quality, nature-based carbon capture project, certified by the Verified Carbon Standard.

The construction of the wind farm will be carried out in parallel with the 900 MW Borkum Riffgrund 3 project, which has yet to be approved.
Gode Wind 3 will go into full commercial operation in 2024. The commissioning of Borkum Riffgrund 3 would follow in 2025, Ørsted said. A final investment decision for both projects is still pending.
”The planning approval for Gode Wind 3 is another important milestone for us in the project. Together with Borkum Riffgrund 3, the construction of the wind farm represents the next stage of our offshore wind power expansion in Germany and is an essential part of our support for the German energy transition,”
The AquaDuctus pipeline will transport green hydrogen from the German North Sea directly to the continent.
It is part of the AquaVentus initiative, which plans to install 10 GW of electrolysis capacity for green hydrogen production from offshore wind power between Heligoland and the Dogger Bank sandbank.
In the dovetailed sub-projects, demand, generation, and transport of hydrogen are to be synchronised in order to enable a swift market ramp-up, RWE said.
Once the construction of the generation plants is fully completed, AquaDuctus would transport up to one million tonnes of hydrogen annually from 2035 onwards.
The first step in the AquaDuctus project is to carry out a detailed feasibility study, RWE said.

The rapid price plunge in solar power in recent years could be an example for currently still rather expensive green hydrogen (produced from renewables), which is essential to reach climate neutrality, Frank Mastiaux, the chief executive of German utility EnBW told the
Süddeutsche Zeitung newspaper.
“But that still requires further great technological developments, among them a completely new and complex infrastructure,” Mastiaux said.
He added EnBW is working on developing the technology and infrastructure to make hydrogen from renewables affordable in order to be able to use the green gas in the scale needed to significantly contribute to climate protection.
