The new energy landscape The offshore energy sector is changing. Developments like the energy transition and the need for sustainable growth are reshaping the industry. The need to innovate and transform are key in remaining relevant and future-proof. This was true during the COVID-19 period, and it will be so after the pandemic. The world did not stop spinning the last year and the energy transition is shifting into higher gear. Companies incorporate sustainability as part of their business strategy. To stay relevant as a company you need to adjust to developments that shape the market. Offshore Energy did this by making the energy transition and sustainable solutions the new focus. Next to that we started to provide an offshore energy wide perspective on the industry in which markets are connected. Think about it. Maritime ingenuity is needed to construct offshore wind farms. Electric power is transmitted by subsea cabling. Oil and gas is the fuel that makes the energy transition happen. Other forms of renewable energy, like marine energy, are needed to meet energy demands. Without dredging, ports cannot function. Everything is connected. The markets set the energy transition in motion. In this magazine we report on several developments of the energy transition in our industry. From zero-emission shipping to carbon capture initiatives. Enjoy!
