TechnipFMC has entered an agreement for the O/G Decarb innovation project group led by Total.
It explores the potential for using the renewable energy platform provided by Floating Power Plant to improve the footprint of Danish oil and gas production. The project will run until the end of 2020.
Currently, extracting oil and gas requires a great deal of energy. The industry is looking to reduce energy consumption in this process. The O/G Decarb innovation project will examine using combined wind and wave technology on a floating foundation, which can convert electricity into hydrogen. The project will also look into integrating any surplus hydrogen into the gas sent ashore.
“We are delighted to be able to contribute skills across offshore energy and green hydrogen technology with a view to decarbonizing the Danish oil and gas sector,” says Jørn Kristian Lindtvedt, Business Manager at TechnipFMC.
