Dive into... North Sea Energy
This webinar series is part of the North Sea Energy program, in which more than 40 public and private organizations aim to identify and assess opportunities for synergies between multiple low-carbon energy developments offshore to accelerate the European energy transition.
Progress of North Sea Energy program
In episode 1, NSE energy experts Rene Peters and Joris Koornneef elaborate on the progress of the North Sea Energy program. They highlight the steps towards a roadmap for offshore system integration as input for decisions in the near future about the energy system in the longer term. The webinar is hosted by George Wurpel.
Energy Hubs & Governance
In episode 2, NSE energy expert Rob van Zoelen dives into North Sea Energy Hubs, which are expected to be important stepping-stones for large-scale system integration and are therefore at the centre of the NSE program. Lisa van Nieuwkoop explores the main challenges when it comes to governance, an important element when bringing new concepts into practice. The webinar is hosted by Rene Peters.
North Sea Energy Atlas
Episode 3 focuses on one of the most important innovations and a central element in the NSE programme: the North Sea Energy Atlas. Remco Groenenberg explains where we are with developing this open access IT toolbox enabling users to develop their own cross-sectional scenarios in any desired composition of offshore energy system elements.
In addition, Sebastiaan Hers shares an analysis of the international energy system, the market dynamics of the North Sea region and the techno-economic potential of an offshore integrated energy system. The webinar is hosted by Rene Peters.
Offshore Logistics and Safety
Episode 4 focuses on the production and transport of offshore hydrogen and the effects of digitalisation. Offshore logistics play a key role in ensuring the safe and efficient installation, operation and decommissioning of offshore energy systems. Knowledge and experience will benefit the offshore hydrogen developments. @Jonah Poort and @Joris Koornneef inform you about the challenges and potential benefits of shared, optimized logistics between offshore oil and gas and wind sectors and on the safety issues that should be addressed. The webinar is hosted by @Marcel Hoenderdos.
Initiatives and impact on Ecology
In episode 5, we dive into balancing the aim for multiple offshore energy initiatives and their impact on the ecological and environmental systems in the North Sea area. Our experts Mara Hauck, Anne-Mette Jørgenson and Joris Koornneef will share how decisions in the development and planning of the North Sea can be guided and adverse ecological and environmental effects can be reduced. The webinar is hosted by Marcel Hoenderdos.
