A coalition of fishing communities last week sent a letter to Gov. Janet Mills expressing concern about proposed offshore wind energy development in the Gulf of Maine.

The coalition, called Responsible Offshore Development Alliance and based in Washington, D.C., asked the Mills administration to prioritize an inclusive planning process and research program over the rapid implementation of commercial-scale OSW [offshore wind] facilities.

The Maine Lobstermen's Association, Maine Coast Fishermen's Association, and a number of Maine-based fishermen are members of the alliance.

The Governors Energy Office is leading the development of a research array of up to 12 turbines covering up to 16 square miles somewhere along the southern half of Maines coast. The location and size and number of the turbines havent been determined yet.

In a virtual information meeting last month, GEO Deputy Director Celina Cunningham said the state is seeking input from fishermen to determine locations hat would have minimal conflict with known fishing grounds.

But Responsible Offshore Development Alliance Executive Director Annie Hawkins wrote the group is troubled that the timeline for the states proposed research array allows for neither adequate planning nor engagement with the fishing industry.

She added that the fishing industry is willing to work with the state on the research array to consider outcomes that may minimize impacts to fishing practices and provide much-needed socioeconomic and environmental data. However, this is only possible if we have a reasonable timeline and planning process to complete this work.

Given the significant fishing occurring in the gulf and the relative lack of fine-scale data regarding fishing activity there, the risk of unreasonable interference would greatly increase if a project is rushed and does not include close coordination with fishing experts, she wrote.

The statestimeline includes submitting an application for the research array to the U.S. Department of the Interiors Bureau of Ocean Energy Management this winter or early spring.

The bureau is responsible for leasing sites in federal waters, which begin 3 miles from the coast.

But Hawkins said the timeline is too short to collect the fishing activity data needed to minimize impacts.The problem is exacerbated by the pandemic, she wrote.

Despite the assurance that your office will work with us to ensure that we organize a stakeholder process that is mindful of immediate health and business impacts from COVID-19, we have received no roadmap for how the state intends to develop partnerships with the industry that are cognizant of the significant current limitations on meetings, unusual time demands, and economic demands fishermen currently face as essential workers providing food to the nation, she wrote.

The alliance also called for the research array to be considered as part of a larger planning effort around future offshore wind development, rather than as a stand-alone project.

This approach does not allow the fishing industry to understand how the research array might fit into a larger OSW development or how to minimize the cumulative impacts of multiple such developments, Hawkins wrote.

Over two dozen Swans Island fishermen signed onto a Facebook push to gather names to add to the letter. The letter was also available through the Maine Coast Fishermens Association website, which told fishermen they could sign onto the letter by contacting the association.

In November, the Maine Lobstermens Association wrote to Mills to express its concern about proposed offshore wind development in the Gulf of Maine and the potential that it will negatively impact Maines fishing industry

Offshore wind technologies are evolving rapidly and because of that, there are significant deficiencies in our understanding of the environmental impacts as well as the displacement of fishermen that may result from these projects, the associates executive director, Patrice McCarron, wrote.

The MLA believes strongly in the need for a robust stakeholder process. To this end, the MLA and many other Maine-based fishing industry associations are working proactively on the offshore wind issue through the Responsible Offshore Development Alliance.

Siemens Gamesa and Siemens Energy have announced a major investment in R&D on an offshore wind-powered green hydrogen production system. The two companies will be spending about $150 million to develop the project, making it one of the largest private investments to date in this niche.

"I don't know any other company that combines wind energy, electrolysis and offshore high voltage technology all in one enterprise," said Christian Bruch, chief executive of Siemens Energy, speaking to Reuters.

The project involves reworking the 14 megawatt Siemens Gamesa turbine in order to integrate it with the requirements of running electrolyzers. The design will use an electrolyzer array installed at the base of the offshore wind turbine tower.

The target market is the European chemical and steelmaking sectors, which can use green hydrogen to decarbonize their operations. The pilot project farm will be located in German waters and will be built out at the 100-200 megawatt scale (small for a commercial installation).

Siemens is also a partner in the AquaVentus consortium, a joint partnership with Vattenfall, Vestas, Shell and RWE for the production of green hydrogen from wind off Heligoland, Germany. The AquaVentus venture has a target size of 10 gigawatts of capacity. As with Siemens' newly announced venture, AquaVentus is targeted at supplying industrial consumers of hydrogen, primarily chemical manufacturers.

This so-called "islanded" hydrogen production arrangement - with offshore wind powering H2 electrolysis directly - has advantages for developing renewable energy in Europe, where the power grid is already facing capacity issues. By decoupling the wind farm from the electrical grid, more power capacity can be added without the (very high) additional expense of more transmission capacity. Siemens says that it will lower the cost of hydrogen by being able to run off grid, amd will open up possibilities for more and better wind sites.

The increasing focus and perceived opportunities in the offshore wind sector are attracting a growing number of maritime and shipping companies to the business.

In the latest development, Norways Knutsen OAS, which manages and operates LNG carriers and product/chemical tankers, is joining in a partnership to establish a new company to develop offshore wind projects in Norway and internationally. The new company is a partnership between the shipping company, Norwegian power utility Haugaland Kraft AS, and power generation company Sunnhordland Kraftlag AS.

"We are facing a green shift that requires significantly more renewable energy. Offshore wind, together with hydropower, can give the region our great advantage in using our renewable natural resources to create future-oriented green industrial growth and development," says John Martin Mjnes CEO of SKL.

According to the companies, South-West Norway has a long maritime tradition, built on industries such as fishing, shipping, oil, and gas. Renewable power production also has long traditions in Norway, but if Norway is to be fully electrified, there will be a need for new renewable energy.

Norway opened up two areas for offshore wind on January 1, 2021, which the new company sees as a strong opportunity. Utsira Nord it says is ideally located to supply new renewable electricity to a region with an expected significant power deficit. Southern North Sea II could be an opening for Norway as a supplier of renewable energy to Europe.

With Utsira North and Southern North Sea II, Norway can take a position as a leading offshore wind nation built on our expertise from the maritime sector, oil and gas, and hydropower, says Knut Vassbotn, who has been appointed CEO of Deep Wind Offshore.

Through Deep Wind Offshore the three companies will seek to use their industrial and broad expertise in the energy and offshore market to realize the business opportunities in these new, sustainable business areas. At the same time, the company hopes to benefit from the oil and gas industry, both in various collaborations and in the competence and technology power the industry represents.

We are now establishing a new, regional company in Western Norway and want to contribute to developing the expertise that is in the region, and hopefully new renewable power production outside Utsira. The expertise in infrastructure and network development is also something the company brings into the collaboration, says Olav Linga, CEO of Haugaland Kraft.

Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) is selling its 35 per cent stake in the 588 MW Beatrice offshore wind farm to The Renewables Infrastructure Group (TRIG) and funds managed by Equitix Investment Management Limited.

TRIG has exchanged contracts with CIP to acquire an equity interest of 17.5 per cent in the project. Funds managed by Equitix Investment Management Limited are acquiring the remaining 17.5 per cent stake from CIP, according to TRIG.

The Beatrice offshore wind farm is located approximately 13 kilometres off the north east coast of Scotland and comprises 84 Siemens 7 MW turbines which utilise direct drive technology. The project has a 15-year maintenance agreement in place with Siemens.

Developed by SSE plc, the wind farm has been in operation since 2018.

The projects CfD subsidy fixes the price received for all power generated until 2034, with indexation to inflation. Debt financing on the project is fixed rate and fully amortising within the subsidy period.

The investment, which is subject to regulatory and lender consents, which are expected to be received in the coming weeks, will be financed from a drawdown of TRIGs recently renewed revolving credit facility.

TRIGs co-shareholders in Beatrice will be SSE plc (40 per cent), funds managed by Equitix Investment Management Limited (17.5 per cent), and Red Rock Power Limited (25 per cent).

We are pleased to have the opportunity to invest in this high-quality project developed by SSE, who are a leading generator of renewable electricity in the UK, Richard Crawford, of InfraRed Capital Partners, said.

As investment Manager, InfraRed seeks attractive opportunities for TRIG that increase the robustness of the portfolio, helping to deliver sustainable returns to shareholders from a diversified portfolio of renewables infrastructure. This major acquisition represents a continuation of this investment strategy and will be the Companys third investment in a UK offshore wind farm and its 5th in the offshore wind sector.

Following the completion of the transaction, Beatrice will represent approximately 12 per cent of TRIGs investment portfolio.

Paving the way for Poland to develop offshore wind in the Baltic Sea, the countrys Parliament unanimously adopted Polands first Offshore Wind Act on January 14. The Act will enter into force on February 1 after its been signed by the President of Poland.

The Act sets out the rules and regulations that will apply to the development of offshore wind, WindEurope said, adding that it defines the volumes Poland intends to develop. In a first phase the regulator will allocate by June 39 2021 financial support for 5.9 GW of capacity. Beyond this they will then award Contracts for Difference (CfD) in competitive auctions.

Polands targets for offshore wind are ambitious. They have none today. But by 2030 they aim to have installed 3.8 GW, WindEurope said, adding that they then want 10 GW by 2040 and 28 GW by 2050. This would make Poland the biggest market for offshore wind in the Baltic. Their first offshore turbines could be operating by 2025.

This is historic stuff from Poland, WindEurope CEO Giles Dickson said. Theyve firmly committed to offshore wind, and lots of it. Theyll be the leading player on offshore wind in the Baltic Sea. And it makes complete sense for them. Offshore wind is cheap, and theyve great potential for it. They already have a strong offshore wind supply chain around their ports and shipyards. Now they can expect lots more jobs, growth and investments. They wind industry looks forward to helping make it all happen, Dickson added.

The Offshore Wind Act is not only a short-term injection of recovery money, Polish Wind Energy Association Vice President Kamila Tarnacka said. It will create lasting tax revenues for Polands federal budget and local municipalities. The offshore wind industry will create tens of thousands of new jobs in Poland and build a strong maritime industry around the sector which will help to revitalise Polish shipyards and ports, she added.

Polands electricity mix is still heavily based on fossil fuels. In 2019 they produced over 70% of their electricity from coal and 10% from gas or oil. Wind is the biggest source of renewable energy in Poland with 10% of total electricity production.

Poland now wants to become a low-emission economy. Their National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) singled out offshore wind as a key technology. Itll help diversify their power mix and significantly reduce their CO2 emissions.

The Offshore Wind Act will boost the Polish economy and will help drive their post-COVID recovery. The Polish Wind Energy Association (PSEW) estimates that large-scale offshore wind will unlock 29 billion of investments, creating tens of thousands of new jobs and strong industrial clusters.

Coastal regions in the north of the country are already active in the wind supply chain, making e.g. foundations, cranes and installation & service vessels. The Act is a big boost for them. And Polands ports such as Szczecin, Gdask and Gdynia will transform to renewable hubs for storage, assembly, transportation and maintenance of offshore wind turbines.

SHARJAH, UAE Lamprell will reorganize its activities into three business units: Oil & Gas, Renewables, and Digital.

The Oil & Gas business comprises the groups traditional activities in drilling rig fabrication and refurbishment, onshore EPC and other services, as well as the companys expansion into offshore EPCI under its long-term agreement with Saudi Aramco.

Lamprells IMI joint venture in Saudi Arabia led to a contract for two newbuild jackups in 2020 and an engineering design contract. The company expects oil and gas to remain a significant part of its bid pipeline in 2021, with demand set to increase in the medium term as markets recover.

Work on the two IMI jackups is progressing with fabrication of the hull, cantilever and leg sections advancing. Last year the group completed 16 rig refurbishment projects, with others now under way.

Lamprell Renewables comprises the groups existing projects providing wind turbine generator foundation fabrication services to offshore wind.

Renewables currently comprise up to $2.5 billion (c. 40%) of the groups bid pipeline, helped by the entry of projects in the US. Lamprell foresees further strong growth ahead, with commercialization of floating wind expected to lead to significant opportunities from the middle of the decade onwards.

Targets are base structures for floating offshore wind, HVDC & HVAC platforms, and floating/offshore hydrogen production facilities. Lamprell Renewables will also seek collaboration with other companies to broaden its execution capacity and support the local content goals of clients.

The UKs Seagreen will be the companys next major offshore wind farm project.

Finally, Lamprell Digital covers the teams that have implemented a range of technologies in the groups yards in the UAE, leading to deployment of adaptive robotic welding, facial recognition technology and a proprietary digital quality management system.

It also takes in the groups partnerships with local digital developer Injazat/G42, supported by Mubadala Investment Co., and Akselos.

Lamprell Digital will develop proprietary technologies for industrial application for use in asset integrity, engineering design, smart non-destructive testing, predictive maintenance, and robotics.

Oil prices have established a new milestone having crossed the $50 a barrel mark a 10-month high. Given last springs oil demand implosion and price collapse as the coronavirus exploded on the world stage, reaching this price level is a major achievement.

Despite the virus uptick, which is forcing new economic restrictions that should be sapping demand, oil prices continue to march higher. They appear to be driven by other forces weakening of the U.S. dollar, growing developing economies, the snapback in activity in China, and fear of the return of inflation. Alone, each pressure might boost oil prices. Combined, they are generating substantial momentum for higher oil prices.

The recent OPEC+ agreement to only add 500,000 bbls. of supply back into the market, with no additional volumes for several months, signals that driving down global inventories is a priority for the exporters. After Russia and Saudi Arabia agreed on the supply additions, the kingdom announced a unilateral production cut of one million barrels per day. Saudi Arabia said Russia was aware of its planned announcement at the time of the OPEC+ agreement. Does it mean the two super-producers are scheming to drive prices higher, or are there more sinister reasons for Saudis action?

Saudi Arabia has been struggling with low oil prices. It continues with Vision 2030 to rework its economy. That has necessitated extensive borrowings to fund the effort given weak oil revenues. One could read this production cut as a way to assure Russia stayed with OPEC and not start another oil war, especially given Russias lobbying for higher output. Saudis cut will allow Russia to lift its output slightly for the next two months. The move did boost oil prices Brent jumped by $4 bbl. on the news helping lift everyones income.

On the other hand, maybe Saudi is more concerned about a derailing of the oil recovery due to weakening oil demand as the virus uptick saps economic activity and vaccinations are slow in rolling out. There are a couple of possible internal explanations: the kingdoms oil fields are beginning to struggle after producing at such a high rate for so long; or maybe it has been able to cut its need to burn oil for power generation. The answer to these questions will be known eventually, but until then, oil producers will happily scoop up the additional cash and wait for greater pricing clarity.

The offshore market still faces the challenge of being a long-term and more expensive market meaning the response time is long and its oil is more costly. Onshore producers have a distinct advantage at the moment. If oil demand doesnt collapse with the virus outbreak, and vaccinations accelerate the economic recovery, then oil prices might find $50 to be a floor, boosting offshore operators confidence for moving forward. This all bears watching, as spring may bring a true revival for the industry.

The Oyster Project consortium has received EU-partnership funding to investigate offshore green hydrogen production.

The consortium comprises of rsted, Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE), Element Energy and ITM Power. It has secured $6m (5m) of funding to demonstrate and investigate a combined wind turbine and electrolyser system, designed for operation in marine environments.

As part of this project, the consortium will focus on the development of a megawatt-scale fully marinised electrolyser in a shoreside pilot trial. Element Energy will co-ordinate the project.

The Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH2-JU), a public-private partnership of the European Commission, awarded the funding.

rsted hydrogen activities vice-president and head Anders Christian Nordstrm said: To create a world that runs entirely on green energy, we need to electrify as much as we can. However, some sectors cannot decarbonise through electrification and thats where renewable hydrogen could play a significant role.

Offshore hydrogen production could be a future, supplemental way of getting large amounts of energy generated from offshore wind power to shore.

As the largest offshore wind company in the world, were of course keen to better understand what it will take to produce renewable hydrogen offshore as a potential future supplement to production of renewable electricity.

The project will begin this year and run to the end of 2024.

ITM Power will take responsibility for the development of the electrolyser system and the electrolyser trials.

GlobalData's TMT Themes 2021 Report tells you everything you need to know about disruptive tech themes and which companies are best placed to help you digitally transform your business.

rsted will lead the offshore deployment analysis and conduct feasibility study of future physical offshore electrolyser deployments. The company will also support ITM Power in designing the electrolyser system for marinisation and testing.

SGRE and Element Energy will provide technical and project expertise.
