A more integrated approach to the deployment of offshore energy networks is needed as a key enabler for net zero or the sea ‘is at risk of being full’, a new report from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) claims. The offshore energy sector will be critical to the UK’s net-zero goals. Its increasing use across the oil and gas, wind, hydrogen and electricity sectors, coupled with the sea’s finite resource, means without clear coordination, the opportunity to maximise the benefits

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.
