Power from shore as replacement for gas turbines has been the most important abatement to reduce greenhouse gases emissions offshore.
Since 2015, these emissions have been reduced by 4.1 million tonnes, or 27 per cent.
This is reflected in the Norwegian Offshore Directorate's new report on power from shore. This report builds on the report "Power from shore to the Norwegian shelf" from 2020 and was prepared on assignment from the Ministry of Energy.
During the period from 2020 to 2025, the number of fields that have or have decided to use power from shore increased from 16 to 39 when associated fields are included. Additional emission reductions are expected once all the projects under development become operational.
