Here's the third instalment of our Summer Contract update. Our friends over at Wood have been busy recently. This long-standing BCECA member is advancing three carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. Wood has successfully assessed the technical feasibility of the Trudvang, Luna, and Havstjerne CCS projects. Together, they can store up to 21 million tonnes of CO2 annually, the equivalent of nearly half of Norway’s total CO2 emissions in 2023. https://lnkd.in/en7WPrPj In a further development, Shell has chosen Wood to deliver pre-FEED services for its innovative ‘Blue Horizons’ project in Oman. The project will produce low-carbon blue hydrogen and ammonia for local and international markets and capture and store CO2 from production. The pioneering development is expected to be the first large-scale project in Oman. https://lnkd.in/e5M_nHJX Meet representatives from Wood and across the UK's engineering contracting community at our fourth virtual annual conference on Wednesday, 2 October 2024.

To secure Ukraine’s key infrastructure facilities, the USAID Energy Security Project (ESP) launches a detailed Feasibility study of installing subsurface safety valve (SSSV) systems in high-flow rate wells of one of the underground gas storage facilities (UGSF) with potential follow-up procurement and installation of the SSSV’s at UGSF. As concluded in the related Pre-feasibility study, also supported by USAID ESP, significant economic efficiency could be achieved, outweighing installation and maintenance costs, enhanced safety for personnel and the facility itself. Through this activity, USAID ESP seeks to assess the possibility of strengthening energy security, guaranteeing reliable natural gas volumes, and increasing the environmental safety of gas storage operations. The Ukrainian UGS facilities help ensure reliable transit gas supplies to European countries, which helps to minimize seasonal fluctuations in gas consumption by Ukraine and Europe and create long-term and operating reserves of natural gas.

The Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy has published regulations for the mandatory display and submission of Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) for building. EPCs are compulsory in many other countries with South Africa being the first African country to make EPCs mandatory. The primary objective in obliging building owners to obtain EPCs is to make them aware of their energy consumption and encourage them to be more energy efficient if their EPC rating is poor. EPCs are now mandatory for private, non-residential, non-industrial buildings with a total net floor area of over 2000sqm, and government buildings of over 1000sqm. The due date to comply with the mandatory government regulation is 07 December 2025 which effectively affords landlords and property owners just under two years to obtain and prominently display an EPC in the foyer of their building. The EPC must be submitted to the South African National Energy Development Institute (SANEDI).

Some of these are: the Conference of the Parties (COP) 28 was held on December 2023; the much-anticipated Integrated Energy and Power Master Plan (IEPMP) was approved; given the national election, different political parties have put their sectoral pledges; the Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources (MoPEMR) has been initiating proposals on domestic gas exploration and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) import; and Bangladesh obtained foreign financial assistance or investment for renewable energy projects.

Kazakhstan allocates $7.6mn for Ekibastuz thermal power plant modernization The allocated funds will be used for overhauling five boiler units (11-15) at the Ekibastuz CHPP for KZT 2.4bn ($5.4mn) and constructing a clarified water main for KZT 988mn ($2.2mn). 👉Details — https://lnkd.in/dVziS2CH #EkibastuzPowerPlant #EnergyModernization #InfrastructureInvestment #RenewableEnergy #PowerPlantUpgrade #KazakhstanDevelopment #EnergyEfficiency #SustainableDevelopment #GreenEnergy #InfrastructureUpgrade

As outlined in the memorandum of intent signed in May, Azerbaijan, Kaytriczakhstan and Uzbekistan seek to lay a high-voltage power transmission line on the Caspian seabed to facilitate Westward-bound electricity exports. Neither July’s draft agreement nor the May memo provide insight into key details, including investment costs, specific infrastructure projects and construction timelines. #greenenergy #electricityexport #azerbaijan #kazakhstan #uzbekistan
