Heerema has signed a reservation agreement for the Polish offshore wind projects Bałtyk II & III. The scope of work appears to include foundation installation and substation installation. The Polish projects Bałtyk II & III are a joint effort between Equinor and Polenergia, with a total of 100 turbines expected to produce a capacity of 1440 MW. The project will utilize monopile foundations, which Heerema will install. Heerema's investment in the Thialf, equipped with a motion compensation gripper for monopile installation, increases the likelihood of Thialf being assigned to this project. Bałtyk II & III are part of several projects scheduled to become operational in the coming years. Image source: Heerema Marine Contractors Equinor | Polenergia

Renewable Energy News from Curaçao 🗞️ 🇨🇼 An agreement between Curaçao and the Netherlands to collaboratively develop offshore floating wind energy and establish a hydrogen production chain was recently reached. The collaboration aims to harness the power of floating offshore wind and create a scalable hydrogen value chain, leveraging the unique geographic advantages of Curaçao and the expertise of the Dutch wind industry. 🫱🏾‍🫲🏼 🍃 Why This Direction? 🤔 👉🏽 By 2030, Curaçao aims to generate 70% of its energy from renewable sources, reducing dependence on fossil fuels, lowering greenhouse gas emissions, and improving its balance. 👉🏽 The project will include advanced floating wind turbines, ideal for deep waters, and integrate hydrogen production. A setup that will result in valuable lessons learned for similar initiatives globally. 👉🏽 Curaçao plans to become an exporter of green hydrogen, a valuable new economic activity and contribution to the global energy system. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eVdsmcis #NTCSEnergy #RenewableEnergy #Caribbean #Hydrogen

CO2next, the open-access terminal project for temporary storage and handling of liquid CO2 in the Maasvlakte area in #Rotterdam, is entering the FEED (Front-End Engineering Design) phase. Shell and TotalEnergies have joined this #collaboration, which was fronted by Gasunie and Vopak up to this point. The terminal will house liquid CO2, which is supplied by vessels and will be connected to empty North Sea gas fields through the future Aramis pipeline. As a result, the terminal will become part of the Rotterdam CSS chain for CO2 storage. It is scheduled to be built on the location near the Gate Terminal, and the Maasvlakte Olie Terminal N.V., with an initial annual storage capacity of approximately 5.4 million tonnes. That capacity may potentially expand to about 15 million tonnes per year, depending on market demand and the development of Aramis and other CSS chains. Following the final #investment decision, which – assuming that the relevant permits will be obtained – is scheduled for 2025, the CO2next terminal is expected to commence its commercial activities in 2028.

Two more Dutch North Sea wind projects given permits Zeevonk II, a joint venture between Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) and Vattenfall, has secured a permit to construct the offshore wind project IJmuiden Ver Beta in the Netherlands. The development will include a 2-GW North Sea wind farm, a 50-MW floating offshore solar farm on-site, and a new electrolyzer at the Maasvlakte industrial area at the Port of Rotterdam. This will convert electricity from IJmuiden Ver to green hydrogen. Currently, a 5-MW offshore floating solar farm is installed off the Dutch coast. According to CIP, combining solar and wind means using available space more efficiently. In addition, solar and wind can share the same grid connection, leading to more efficient use of the power grid. CIP will work with its exclusive offshore wind development collaborator, Copenhagen Offshore Partners. At the same time, Noordzeker was awarded the permit for the IJmuiden Ver Alpha offshore wind farm site. Its plans include designing 75% of its wind turbines with artificial reefs, which will form a protected habitat for reef-building sand tube worms and various types of fish. It will also collaborate with Naturalis, the Dutch research institute for biodiversity. The two projects will generate 4 GW of power, equivalent to about 14% of the Netherlands’ current electricity consumption, said the Netherlands Enterprise Agency.

Guyana's Neighbor Prepares for Boom: TotalEnergies, APA, Staatsolie Advance Suriname's Block 58 Project TotalEnergies, APA Corporation, and Staatsolie made significant progress on the Block 58 development project offshore Suriname, agreeing on a development area for the Sapakara and Krabdagu fields, paving the way for a potential Final Investment Decision (FID),  by the fourth quarter of 2024. Key Points: ✅ First Mover Advantage: If successful, Block 58 could position Suriname as a major oil producer in the region, similar to its neighbor Guyana with the prolific Stabroek Block. ✅ Project Details: The initial development plan focuses on the Sapakara and Krabdagu fields, estimated to hold over 700 million barrels of recoverable oil. A floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel with a capacity of 200,000 barrels of oil per day is secured for the project. ✅ Economic Boost: Block 58 development has the potential to significantly boost Suriname's economy, generating revenue and creating new employment opportunities. Food for Thought: What are the potential geopolitical and economic implications of a successful Block 58 development for Suriname and the wider region? How can Suriname leverage its oil wealth for long-term economic diversification and social development? Could Block 58 be a catalyst for further exploration and development in Suriname's offshore basins? #Suriname #Block58 #TotalEnergies #APA #Staatsolie #OilAndGas #Exploration #Development #FID #Guyana #Investment #Sustainability #Investment #Sustainability
