Hydrogen is considered one of the key components of global decarbonization, with countries setting ambitious capacity and demand targets. In 2024, governments and companies worldwide increased their investments and announced new partnerships and projects, recognizing hydrogen’s potential to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors and provide a sustainable energy source. This article takes a look at 2024’s top five hydrogen stories. The post Offshore Energy’s top five hydrogen stories of 2024 appeared first on Offshore Energy.

Energy intelligence group Wood Mackenzie has published a report listing several key trends shaping the future of the energy sector, including three that are relevant to the offshore industry – the fast pace of China’s energy transition, a comparison of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects, and the potential of offshore wind compared to oil and gas in the North Sea. The post WoodMac: low-carbon power central to energy transition, but replacing oil & gas will be a ‘gargantuan’ task appeared first on Offshore Energy.

As the offshore energy industry continues its gradual shift to low-carbon and renewable energy sources, offshore drilling players are intensifying their efforts to slash emissions on the path to a sustainable future. While drilling rigs largely run on diesel, which creates electricity to power the motors, rig owners are exploring ways to harness low-carbon and green alternatives. In this fast-changing landscape, which fuel will dominate the rig market and power offshore drilling rigs in the years ahead?
