Three winners are sharing a £1million prize for ideas that could help cut greenhouse gas emissions by moving forward the drive to electrify platforms in the North Sea.

The Decarbonisation competition for the electrification of offshore oil and gas installations  was launched by the Oil and Gas Authority (OGA), working with BEIS, to fund technical and commercial studies on offshore electrification in the UK North Sea as part of the North Sea Transition Deal outcomes.

All winners are assessing ideas that could speed up essential electrification projects. However, Katoni is delivering a range of studies by March 2022 which will assess whether renewable sources can be mixed with other types of power generation to provide reliable, secure and low emmissions power.
