Norwegian oil and gas firm Equinor has completed a project to partly power its Troll B and C platforms in the North Sea from shore, significantly reducing emissions.
Oil and gas accounts for 25% of CO2 emissions from Norway. Quite simply, if the industry doesn’t step up then the country cannot meet its climate targets.
Aberdeen harbour has received more than £400,000 from the Department for Transport to fund a joint demonstration project aimed at providing shore power within the existing north harbour.
Equinor has picked Aker Solutions to carry out a front-end engineering and design study for topside modifications to accommodate power from shore at the Troll B and C platforms.
