據能源之聲網站9月16日報道 根據油氣技術中心（OGTC）和咨詢公司伍德麥肯茲的最新報告，將英國北海定位為凈零未來的成本將超過4300億英鎊。

根據這項由運營商Chrysaor和蘇格蘭政府支持的研究，建立這樣一個“一體化的凈零能源系統”（將石油和天然氣與其他可再生能源相結合）的回報是，到2050年英國將新增20萬個就業崗位，經濟增長2.5萬億英鎊。

然而，認識到這一點意味著該行業和政府需要在未來幾年集中投資，以縮小在一些關鍵技術上的差距。

這將需要在全球范圍內投入4300億英鎊用于發展。

OGTC強調的一些領域包括平臺電氣化、甲烷泄漏檢測和油氣燃燒緩解，以及更大的葉片、更高的塔架和固定海上風能的自動檢查。

同時還提到提高“藍色氫”生產（從天然氣）和降低“綠色氫”（通過可再生能源）的成本，提高碳捕獲和儲存（CCS）技術的經濟性的措施，以及海上可再生能源（如浮式太陽能）的取電解決方案。

OGTC首席執行官科恩表示：“將北海重新想象成一個綜合能源系統，對于英國和蘇格蘭實現凈零排放目標至關重要。但我們現在需要投資，以縮小實現這一雄心所需的關鍵技術的差距。”

North Sea net zero transition will cost ￡430billion, says OGTC – Wood Mackenzie report

Positioning the UK North Sea for a net zero future will cost more than ￡430billion, according to a new report from the Oil and Gas Technology Centre (OGTC) and consultancy Wood Mackenzie.

The reward of creating such an “integrated net zero energy system” – a mix of oil and gas with other renewable sources – is the creation of 200,000 new UK jobs and ￡2.5trillion for the economy by 2050, according to the research, produced with support from operator Chrysaor and the Scottish Government.

However realising this means the industry and governments need to “focus investment at pace in the coming years” to close the gap on a number of key technologies.

This will require ￡430bn to be spent globally on development, of which around ￡270bn is expected to be spent in the UK.

Some of the areas highlighted by the OGTC are platform electrification, methane leak detection and flaring mitigation for oil and gas, as well as larger blades, taller towers and automated inspection for fixed offshore wind.

It also refers to improving ”blue hydrogen” production (from natural gas) and reducing cost of “green hydrogen” (via renewables), as well as measures to improve economics of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, and power off-take solutions for marine renewables like floating solar.

OGTC chief executive Colette Cohen said: “Reimagining the North Sea as an integrated energy system is essential for the UK and Scotland to achieve their net-zero ambitions. But we need to invest now to close the gap on the key technologies needed to make this ambition a reality.
