Oil and gas markets are ensnared by oversupply and falling prices, not to mention a global pandemic. It illustrates the need to be more responsive to changes in the energy climate. And the good news is that the signs are pointing to more investment in renewables, specifically offshore wind power.<\/h1>\n

It\u2019s a business decision that is also addressing climate change. A new report by\u00a0Wood MacKenzie<\/strong>\u00a0says that $211 billion<\/strong> will get invested in offshore wind over the next five years \u2014 something that is well-\"\"suited for oil and gas companies. That is because they have an implicit understanding of the waters where the infrastructure would be placed. And as the coronavirus is demonstrating, those companies are also seeking to diversify their portfolios.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe expect the offshore wind market to grow more attractive for traditional oil and gas players,\u201d writes Soren Lassen and Mhairdh Evans, with the global consulting firm. \u201cThere is limited crossover today, but first movers have gone with the wind and more will soon follow. As interest and investment in offshore wind grow, investment in offshore oil and gas<\/strong> is likely to stabilize, narrowing the gap between the two sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n

Consider Norway\u2019s Equinor:<\/strong> It has a goal of reducing its carbon intensity<\/strong> by half by 2050<\/strong>. Part of the strategy is to expand its renewable energy ventures<\/strong> and specifically those in offshore wind<\/strong>: As much as 6,000 megawatts<\/strong> in 6 years<\/strong> and 16,000 megawatts<\/strong> in 15 years.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0U.S. Department of Energy\u00a0<\/strong>estimates that offshore wind energy has a capacity of 2,000 gigawatts<\/strong> here. But just 30-megawatt off the shores of Rhode Island called Block Island Wind Farm<\/strong> is online. It revved up in 2016<\/strong>. New York State is now soliciting 800 megawatts<\/strong> of offshore wind projects<\/strong> \u2014 something that it hopes will lead to 2,400 megawatts<\/strong> of such power by 2030.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
