The Offshore Energy Exhibition & Conference 24 (OEEC24) covered crucial topics in the energy transition. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) was a focal point, with experts highlighting its importance in achieving net-zero emissions despite challenges in adoption due to industry development and capital intensity. Discussions also included offshore energy security, infrastructure protection, and the need for collaboration with the civilian industry. The Dutch Ministry presented updates on Offshore Wind Policy, aiming for 50 GW by 2040 and integrating measures like cyber security in upcoming tenders. Moreover, innovative approaches like data-driven solutions for operational efficiency and biodiversity enhancement in offshore wind farms were emphasized. The future of offshore hydrogen was also addressed, with insights on integrating electrolyzers into offshore turbines to reduce energy costs and enhance supply security.
