Together with more than 30 (inter)national parties, the North Sea Energy programme researches how the North Sea’s potential using an integrated approach can be utilized for a climate-neutral energy system.
NSE not only investigates, but also initiates pilots and projects (e.g. PosHYdon) to test and demonstrate innovative concepts.

Europe is moving towards a climate-neutral energy system that is reliable and affordable. The North Sea plays a key role in this. At first with oil and gas production and now increasingly with renewable energy. The North Sea offers opportunities for large-scale wind energy and hydrogen production and underground carbon storage.

The programme is investigating the benefits of smart linkages between the various energy functions in the North Sea. These benefits will save society money and time, enable us to use space effectively and considerably reduce carbon emissions.
