Holly Pattenden, Lead Advisor UK, is a panellist on session 1 at Energetic Future 2023.
Equinor will operate Dogger Bank Wind Farm from Port of Tyne in North East England. Dogger Bank will be the world’s largest offshore wind farm upon completion. No less than £9 billion of capital investment is being provided into low-carbon infrastructure. The project delivers substantial economic benefits to the UK and the environment. Equinor has long experience with wind power in the UK and built and implemented the world’s first floating offshore wind farm.
Equinor is reducing emissions from its operations and products, focusing on the storage and utilisation of CO2, decarbonisation of natural gas through hydrogen value chains, low carbon fuel transportation solutions, and electrification of platforms. For over 20 years Equinor has been storing carbon dioxide in reservoirs deep beneath the Norwegian North Sea. Now it aims to use that experience to help develop the East Coast Cluster into a global leader in low carbon technologies, using CCS and hydrogen, with an ambition to link the Humber and Teesside to permanent storage under the North Sea.
Equinor is an international energy company. Formerly Statoil, they are 20,000 committed colleagues developing oil, gas, wind and solar energy in more than 30 countries worldwide. They’re the largest operator in Norway, among the world’s largest offshore operators, and a growing force in renewables. Driven by their Nordic urge to explore beyond the horizon, and their dedication to safety, quality, and sustainability, they’re building a global business on their values and the energy needs of the future.
