Integration of Oil & Gas Infrastructure for the Energy Transition (FAC14)

    Description

    Pursuing the international Net-Zero Greenhouse Gas Emission targets for 2050 poses significant challenges for the entire energy industry. While various new energy carriers and concepts for net-zero emissions are being developed in parallel during the ongoing operation of our industries and transportation sectors, most experts believe that there will not be one single new technology arising, but that the solution will be a co-existence of several technologies, including hydrogen, electrification, e-fuels, etc.
    For both technology and infrastructure development, the quickest and most efficient way forward will be to utilise most of the existing oil & gas infrastructure, from production of these new energy carriers to storage and distribution.
    This course will provide an insight into the currently emerging technologies, changing legal boundaries and the potential of the existing oil & gas infrastructure to accommodate these developments, including required improvements and modifications.
