據油價網2023年3月24日報道，蘇格蘭皇家房地產管理局（CES，Crown Estate Scotland）已經向包括英國石油公司（bp）和法國道達爾能源公司在內的13家公司授予了海上風力發電租約，以支持北海石油和天然氣作業的脫碳。

道達爾能源公司和bp將開發海上風力發電項目，主要向北海石油和天然氣平臺供電，以減少油氣作業的排放。

在19家投標公司中，13家被選中的公司將開始海上風電開發工作，初始投資總額約為2.6億英鎊(3.1728億美元)。浮選能源公司和天藍風公司將成為這一努力的最大投資者，分別投資近9600萬英鎊和1.38億英鎊。

bp的替代能源投資部門計劃最初投資167萬英鎊，而道達爾能源公司將投資20萬英鎊用于開發這些項目。蘇格蘭CES計劃通過一個名為INTOG(創新和目標石油和天然氣)的租賃過程，吸引對蘇格蘭水域創新海上風電項目的投資。該戰略的主要目標是幫助北海油氣作業脫碳。

蘇格蘭CES表示，所有中標項目的最大產能為5吉瓦，另外還有500兆瓦分配給規模更小、更創新的項目。中標公司將獲得為期25至50年的海底租約。

作為風力發電的全球領導者，英國在2022年經歷了破紀錄的一年，根據英國國家電網的數據，風電供應了英國25%以上的電力。

據蘇格蘭CES稱，海上風力發電是英國最大的可再生能源，有潛力為大約40%的英國家庭提供電力。

開發海上風力發電項目為北海石油和天然氣平臺提供清潔電力是實現英國脫碳目標的重要一步。這種創新的方法旨在減少油氣作業對環境的影響，同時促進可再生能源產業的發展。

Total And BP Tap Wind Power To Decarbonize North Sea Oil Operations

Crown Estate Scotland has awarded offshore wind leases to 13 Companies, including BP and TotalEnergies, to support North Sea oil and gas decarbonization.

On Friday, Crown Estate Scotland, an independent commercial organization responsible for managing the British seabed, announced that it had awarded leases to 13 companies, including Big Oil's BP and TotalEnergies, and several UK renewable firms. 

The companies will develop offshore wind projects to supply power primarily to North Sea oil and gas platforms to reduce the sector's emissions.

Out of 19 bidders, the 13 selected companies will commence offshore wind development work with an initial combined investment of approximately ￡260 million ($317.28 million). Flotation Energy and Cerulean Winds are set to be the largest investors in this endeavor, with investments of nearly ￡96 million and ￡138 million, respectively.

BP's Alternative Energy Investments division is slated to initially invest ￡1,670,917, while TotalEnergies will contribute ￡200,000 towards developing these projects. Crown Estate Scotland aims to attract investment in innovative offshore wind initiatives in Scottish waters through a leasing process known as INTOG (Innovation and Targeted Oil and Gas). The primary goal of this strategy is to help decarbonize North Sea operations.

Crown Estate Scotland has stated that the maximum capacity for all awarded projects is 5 gigawatts (GW), with an additional 500 MW allocated for smaller, more innovative projects. Successful bidders will be offered a seabed lease with a term ranging from 25 to 50 years.

As a global leader in wind power, the United Kingdom experienced a record-breaking year in 2022, with wind energy supplying over 25% of the nation's electricity, according to the National Grid. 

Offshore wind, the largest renewable energy source in Britain, has the potential to power approximately 40% of UK households, as stated by the Crown Estate.

Developing offshore wind projects to provide clean energy for North Sea oil and gas platforms is a significant step towards achieving the UK's decarbonization goals. This innovative approach aims to reduce the environmental impact of oil and gas operations while simultaneously promoting the growth of renewable energy industries.
