2024 will go down as the year of peak energy emissions*, according to DNV’s Energy Transition Outlook. Energy related emissions are at the cusp of a prolonged period of decline for the first time since the industrial revolution.

DNV launches Joint Industry Project (JIP) to identify barriers to the use of High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission in the U.S. grid.

The new control solution provides complete integration with grid operators to hybrid plants in all markets it serves, providing flexibility to comply to all grid codes.

According to DNV’s Pathway to Net Zero Emissions report, limiting global warming to 1.5°C remains a possibility - but is highly improbable. Drastic measures, and permanent cuts in emissions are necessary to reach net zero in 2050.

The first phase of the JIP explored the feasibility of floating offshore substations, identified technology gaps, and affirmed the maturity of alternating current over direct current solutions / For Phase 2, new participants are called in to join the project, which will contribute to the 2024 update of industry standards for offshore substations and dynamic high-voltage export cables. The JIP’s ultimate objective is to support the scaling of floating wind with an acceptable level of technical, commercial and HSE risk, through robust guidelines.

DNV supports project management, deployment and monitoring of Floating Lidar System devices for offshore wind / DNV also uses wind measurements and technical data to predict the wind farm’s net annual energy production / Measurements and findings will influence the investor’s business case and speed up offshore wind deployment in South Korea, contributing to the Green New Deal

Independent energy expert and assurance provider DNV has been awarded a contract by the Equinor and Polenergia S.A. owned joint ventures, MFW Baltyk II sp. z o.o. and MFW Baltyk III sp. z o.o for the certification of the Baltyk II and Baltyk III offshore wind farms. The projects, located in the Polish exclusive economic zone of the Baltic Sea, are set to contribute significantly to Poland's renewable energy goals.

New research published by DNV reveals that the energy industry is boosting its cyber security spending this year, as heightened geopolitical tensions and the accelerating adoption of digitally connected infrastructure spark concerns over the sector’s vulnerabilities to emerging cyber threats.

Transport has a severe emission challenge, its share of overall emissions grows from 25% today to 30% by 2050 as large part of the transport system will remain fossil fuel dependent / Transport of passengers and goods currently accounts for about a quarter of global energy-related CO2 emissions and will grow to 30% by 2050 / Maritime sector energy mix will comprise 50% low- and zero carbon fuels in 2050 / Oil has staying power in aviation and maritime. Strong policies are needed to ensure necessary decarbonization to hydrogen and sustainable biofuel.

DNV, the independent energy expert and assurance provider, has started a new Joint Industry Project (JIP) to increase certainty in the design process for wind farms challenged by earthquakes.

Technical advisor DNV will support the development of an optimal design and network routing plan for integrating large-scale offshore wind into the power grid / DNV will also study how to minimize renewables integration costs

DNV, the independent energy expert and assurance provider, has been authorized by the Polish Ministry of Infrastructure to issue certificates for offshore wind farms and assembly of power output equipment in Poland. The certification will be executed according to Polish law requirements, reflected in DNV’s Service Specification ”Project certification of wind power plants”.

Offshore wind will account for 80% of stationary infrastructure at sea by 2050, up from 15% today / Europe will experience significant pressure on ocean space with demand particularly strong in North Sea, Celtic-Biscay Shelf and Baltic Sea / Greater China will build most offshore infrastructure (covering 112,000 square kilometers by 2050), followed by Europe (70,000 square kilometers). Globally, ocean installations will cover 335,000 square kilometers by midcentury, which is larger than the landmass of Poland / DNV also chosen to lead project to optimize marine spatial planning off coast of Norway

DNV and partners have recently launched a new JIP - EMRED. The JIP aims to establish a monitoring and reporting framework for assessing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the offshore wind installation sector. The partners comprise energy companies, ScottishPower Renewables, RWE, Vattenfall, Orsted, and installation/operation companies, Jan De Nul Group, DEME, Ziton, Cadeler, Van Oord, Fred. Olsen Windcarrier, and DNV.

To move from ambition to action the industry calls on stable regulatory frameworks, standardization and port infrastructure.
