The opening session of the inaugural OEUK North Sea CCS and Hydrogen Summit will set the scene on how the UK has arrived to where it is today and why it has happened. It will lay the foundations for the summit dialogue: what do we need to see to unlock and sustain CCS and hydrogen networks. These networks can support energy security, decarbonisation and industrial ambitions; if done right, we can see benefits for the UK and neighbouring North Sea countries and the region can remain the powerhouse for European energy.
To deliver these critical CCS and hydrogen projects and infrastructure, we need to see short-term delivery and medium-term build out at scale. DNV, through the launch of a commissioned study, will explore the summit theme of an Integrated and Resilient North Sea. The study defines resilience across operational, technical, economic and regulatory dimensions and highlights the CCS and hydrogen networks needed to support UK and wider European ambitions, underpinned by DNV’s Energy Transition Outlook data.
