Platform N05-A will be the first offshore gas production platform in the North Sea to run entirely on wind energy. For this purpose, a cable will be laid to the nearby German wind farm Riffgat. The electrification of platform N05-A with the help of wind energy means a considerable reduction in emissions. Emissions from the production platform will be zero and for the entire project a reduction of 85 percent. With this innovation, ONE-Dyas wants to make a serious contribution to the energy transition.
Usefulness and necessity of gas
Why do we need to invest in gas when solar and wind energy are the future?
The Netherlands is committed to a CO2-neutral energy supply by 2050. During this energy transition, natural gas will continue to play an important role in the foreseeable future. Dutch natural gas is preferable to importing gas from abroad. It is more sustainable than imported gas, it contributes to the Dutch economy and it means a greater security of supply for our energy.
