    Carbon Capture and Storage - an Emerging Offshore Industry

    We are heading towards 2.2°C of global warming - the uncomfortable conclusion of DNV’s recent Energy Transition Outlook report. Closing the gap between our current 2.2°C trajectory and the 1.5°C future we need requires significant deployment of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies.

    Floating Power: Electricity and Future Fuels

    Beyond shoreside hotel power, there’s floating, utility-sized power, or floating power plants. At the core of these are some familiar names in marine propulsion and national grid power — Wartsila, Siemens Energy, MAN Energy Solutions. Challenging the status quo and working with these paradigm power producers are consortia of companies from the renewables and offshore sectors. Driving development are developing-world demand, the renewal of diesel plants, subsidy and electricity shortages worldwide. Sweetening the pot is a chance to produce unproven fuels hydrogen and ammonia.
