BlueFloat Energy | Nadara Partnership’s Post

Having recently attended the WindEurope End of Life Issues and Strategies conference in Gothenburg last week, on reflection, it's clear that driving forward circular approaches within late life decision making will be imperative for the industry to remain steadfast in our commitments to sustainability through innovation across the entire project lifecycle. This, to me, is of particular significance today given the publication of the Clean Power 2030 Action Plan, which sets out significant ambition for the UK's energy transition this decade. Stand out insights from #EoLIS this year: - The European onshore repowering experience: 276 onshore wind projects have been repowered to date, averaging a 4 fold increase in capacity but with 25% less WTGs. - Innovative asset integrity monitoring techniques will play an ever increasingly important role in approaches to prospective lifetime extension. - Scenarios for Belgium’s offshore wind repowering ambitions are being explored - investigating economic viability, technical synergies and legal challenges. - Scaling up of circular onshore material processing solutions requires transparency, unlocking of policy barriers and, to an extent, certainty - all of which will be underpinned by effective cross-industry collaboration. Such a pleasure to have attended with fellow colleagues Paul Matthew Kirk Alison Williams Johan Schoonhoven Daniel Kamyno Rasmussen Charlotte Boesen Gundula Fischer

Happy World Maritime Day 2024. #WorldMaritimeDay, established by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in 1978, raises awareness of shipping safety, maritime security, and protecting the marine environment. Today, it's crucial to reflect on the growing role of #OffshoreWind Energy, especially Poland's ambition to become a leader in this industry. Poland’s Baltic coastline offers immense potential for offshore wind, a key part of its Energy Transition Strategy. Offshore wind development in Polish waters is divided into two phases: 1️⃣ Phase 1 (by 2030): Poland aims to install 5.9 GW of offshore wind capacity. These projects, backed by significant investments, will help meet Poland’s energy needs and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. 2️⃣ Phase 2 (2030-2040): The second phase targets around 9.5 GW of additional capacity. 💡 Total Potential: The Polish Baltic Sea could support up to 30 GW of offshore wind by 2050. However, reaching this potential requires changes to the maritime spatial plan to allow for more efficient sea space use and project development. Across the Baltic Sea region, with 93 GW of offshore wind capacity projected by 2050, Poland is positioning itself as a key player. Key highlights from Poland’s #offshore wind sector: 🔹 Significant Investment: Poland’s offshore wind sector is attracting multi-billion-dollar investments in infrastructure, ports, and supply chains, ensuring long-term growth. 🔹 Local Expertise: From location and strategic advisory to permitting consultancy, Poland is building the expertise to navigate complex regulations, helping guide projects from inception through to approval. 🔹 Environmental Responsibility: Offshore wind, when aligned with stringent environmental assessments, can coexist with marine ecosystems, advancing clean energy while protecting biodiversity. As we celebrate #WMD2024, we acknowledge the crucial role of offshore wind energy in transforming Poland's energy landscape. Let’s continue leading the way in building a sustainable future for our oceans and communities. #WorldMaritimeDay #Sustainability #PolandOffshoreWind #EnergyTransition #RenewableEnergy #Ambiens #OffshoreWindPotential #IMO #CleanEnergy #BalticWind #PermittingConsultancy

Expansion plans aim to exceed 5 Mt/year in the next phase. 💡𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬: Equinor CEO Anders Opedal emphasized: “𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘢 𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘣𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘮𝘰𝘥𝘦𝘭 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘊𝘊𝘚, 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘣𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘻𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘌𝘶𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴.” TotalEnergies’ Arnaud Le Foll mentioned: “𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘧 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥-𝘵𝘰-𝘢𝘣𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘴 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘯 2017.” 🎉At #UrjanovaC, we’re thrilled to celebrate this landmark achievement! 🚀 Initiatives like Northern Lights align perfectly with our mission of decarbonizing hard-to-abate industries. As demand for #carbon_sequestration soars, we’re pushing the boundaries with innovative #CCUS technologies to create impactful solutions. Earlier this year, our co-founder and CEO, Prof. Vikram Vishal, was hosted at The Northern Lights for insightful discussions and potential collaborative ventures. 🤝Let’s work together to unlock the full potential of CCS and build a low-carbon, sustainable world. 🌍 Vikram Vishal | ARNAB DUTTA | Piyali Majumder | Koyel Das | Sujit Gurav | Sahil Gurav | Aryaman Mihir Seth | Suhana Karim | Rajeshwaree B | Anwesha Banerjee

Set to make history as the world’s first artificial energy island, this project will connect Belgium’s 3.5 GW Princess Elisabeth offshore wind zone to the mainland by 2027. With a unique design to enhance marine biodiversity, the island will also be a critical hub for future energy links to the UK and neighbouring countries, reinforcing Belgium’s and Europe’s energy independence. Backed by the EU's REPowerEU initiative, this venture marks a bold leap forward in renewable energy and cross-border collaboration. Exciting times for offshore wind as Belgium leads the charge toward a sustainable energy future!🍃 🌬️ #OffshoreWind #EnergyIsland #RenewableEnergy #GreenTransition #Belgium #Sustainability

Very happy to have received an invitation to attend the North Sea Hub “Renewable Dialogue” at the Hannover convention centre on April 23 between Germany and Norway. The opportunity to see how strong the cooperation between Norway (Country partner of #HannoverMesse2024) and Germany is to build up a proper decarbonised electricity sector in North Europe. The 2 countries are key trading partners and have entered a strategic partnership on climate, renewable energy and green industry to cooperate even closer in the #greentransition   As already informed in a post after my participation during 3 days in the “Windenergietage” in Potsdam last November, the investments in the North of Germany and Europe will keep increasing significantly in the next 5 years. #Wind projects and #Hydrogen clusters close to port areas will modify industrial interdependencies in Germany, but also in Europe.   #Norway will be a key actor, not only for Germany but also for Europe, in the energy transition field. Norway is fully integrated into the European internal market through the EEA Agreement, making trade and investment flow seamlessly between Norway, Germany and the rest of the European Union.   Last week in Hannover, Norway emphasized its ambitions for the transition to a low-carbon society and key role in developing solutions within sectors such as renewable energy, carbon-neutral production, and application of green and digital solutions – all necessary to transform the industry and reach net-zero.   Besides partnership, we do observe pragmatism in the move. Why? Both countries aim to scale up renewable energy production quickly (Norway joined the Ostende declaration in 2023 – 9 countries set offshore wind targets of about 120 GW by 2030 and 300 GW by 2050 in the North Seas), a prerequisite for the production of green hydrogen. But in parallel, to realize the fastest possible high-volumes of hydrogen with zero or low emissions, the 2 countries will jointly plan to use hydrogen produced from natural gas with Carbon Capture and Storage (blue hydrogen) for a transition period, establishing the highest possible standards for CCS.   #norwayhm24 #strongertogether #europe #francoallemand #partnerships   Dag Ekelberg, Ingebjørg Telnes Wilhelmsen, Tore Kallevåg, Synne Myhre Jensen, Beate Paulsrud, Ole Kolb, Stephan Steinlein, Dr. Christophe AREND, Emeline Santerre, Catharina Post, Dr. Florian Brahms, Dr. Julian Asmus Nebel, Christian Frohberg, Désirée Oberpichler, Thomas Michaelis, Jérôme Desquiens, Frédéric PETIT, Patrick Gerges, Sven Rösner, Céline Pizzotti, Evelyne Freitag, Manon Wahl, Frédérique Genton, LL.M, Olivier Meier, Olga HEIN, Pascal Jentsch, Benedicte de Peretti, Marlies Ullenboom , Christophe Debien, Eric DE RIEDMATTEN, Gert Van Avondt, Julien LEVER, Christophe IPPOLITO, Fabrizio Delage Paganini, Max Maldacker, Viktoria Schuck, ,Sandrine Couturier, Marielle Laetitia Sorge , Equinor, RWE
