DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Offshore Wind Energy Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2022-2027" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global offshore wind energy market reached a value of US$ 9.14 Billion in 2021. Looking forward, the publisher expects the market to reach a value of US$ 24.71 Billion by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 18.03% during 2021-2027.

Companies Mentioned

• E.ON SE
• Electricite de France S.A.
• Equinor ASA
• General Electric Company
• Nordex SE
• Northland Power Inc.
• Orsted A/S
• Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy S.A. (Siemens Energy AG)
• Suzlon Energy Limited
• Vestas Wind Systems A/S
• Xinjiang Goldwind Science & Technology Co. Ltd.

Keeping in mind the uncertainties of COVID-19, we are continuously tracking and evaluating the direct as well as the indirect influence of the pandemic on different end use sectors. These insights are included in the report as a major market contributor.

Offshore wind energy relies on wind turbines located in ocean waters to generate electricity, which is transmitted via cables to the mainland grid. It is a cost-effective, abundant, and clean source of energy. It can provide reliable and affordable renewable power near coastal energy load centers wherein there is a scarcity of sites for large-scale renewable energy development.

It helps reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, increase energy security and diversity, create jobs, and promote sustainable development. At present, there is a rise in the adoption of renewable sources of energy production and consumption across the globe, which is catalyzing the demand for offshore wind energy.

There is presently a considerable increase in the number of offshore wind farms worldwide. This, in confluence with the burgeoning energy sector, represents one of the key factors impelling the growth of the market. Moreover, onshore wind energy is nowadays near the development limit in several countries on account of the visual and noise impact constraints that make it increasingly challenging to find appropriate sites.

Besides this, physical blockages from buildings and landscapes like hills or mountains can also cause inconsistencies in production, and consequently, onshore wind cannot fails in generating energy year-round. However, recent developments in offshore wind energy are reducing visual impacts, minimizing turbulence, and lowering noise constraints. It is also more productive than land-based wind energy due to higher and more consistent wind speeds, which is impelling the market growth.

Furthermore, the construction of offshore wind turbine plants is more feasible as large offshore turbines can be transported using barges or ships. This, coupled with increasing investments in upcoming offshore wind power projects by governing authorities, is driving the market.

Key Questions Answered in This Report:

• How has the global offshore wind energy market performed so far and how will it perform in the coming years?
• What has been the impact of COVID-19 on the global offshore wind energy market?
• What are the key regional markets?

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP) today announced a potentially significant expansion of its global liquefied natural gas (LNG) business through investment in a new large-scale LNG facility under development by Sempra Infrastructure, a subsidiary of Sempra (NYSE: SRE) (BMV: SRE), in Jefferson County, Texas. ConocoPhillips has entered into a Heads of Agreement (HOA) with Sempra to acquire a 30% direct equity holding in Port Arthur Liquefaction Holdings, LLC and an LNG offtake equivalent to approximately 5 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) from the Port Arthur LNG project.

The first phase of the project is fully permitted and expected to include two liquefaction trains and LNG storage tanks, as well as associated facilities capable of producing, under optimal conditions, up to approximately 13.5 Mtpa of LNG. As one of the top five natural gas marketers in North America, ConocoPhillips will bring extensive commercial expertise and resources to benefit the project. Under the terms of the HOA, ConocoPhillips will supply the gas for its 5 Mtpa offtake and may provide additional gas supply services to the Port Arthur LNG facility. In addition, ConocoPhillips will have the option to acquire certain LNG offtake and equity ownership from future contemplated LNG trains at the Port Arthur LNG site, where a similarly sized Phase 2 project is also under development.

“ConocoPhillips has been a driving force in the LNG industry since we helped open the Atlantic LNG market beginning in the 1950s, and then the Asia-Pacific market by delivering the first LNG cargo to Tokyo Bay in 1969,” said Ryan Lance, chairman and chief executive officer. “The decision to enter into this agreement with Sempra provides us with a ground-floor opportunity to participate in premier LNG developments, reinforcing our commitment to helping solve the world’s energy supply needs as we transition to a lower-carbon future. Sempra brings a long history of successful LNG project development, and we look forward to working together to provide reliable LNG to support the energy transition and strengthen U.S. and global energy security.”

“At Sempra, we believe bold new partnerships will be central to solving the world’s energy security and decarbonization challenges,” said Jeffrey W. Martin, chairman and chief executive officer of Sempra. “That is why we are excited to announce this proposed partnership with ConocoPhillips, a leading global energy producer that also shares our vision of responsibly developing and delivering cleaner energy resources.”

The companies will also evaluate development of low-carbon projects, including a carbon capture and storage (CCS) project for the Port Arthur LNG facility, and Sempra Infrastructure would have the opportunity to participate in carbon capture and sequestration projects developed by ConocoPhillips in Texas or Louisiana in connection with the Port Arthur LNG project. Additionally, the HOA provides an opportunity for ConocoPhillips to acquire offtake and equity participation in Sempra’s development of the Energia Costa Azul LNG Phase 2 Project to be located north of Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico. This future expansion of the existing Energia Costa Azul project is ideally located to supply Asia-Pacific markets.

The referenced HOA is a preliminary, non-binding arrangement, with development of the Port Arthur LNG project subject to concluding definitive agreements and resolving a number of risks and uncertainties, including, among others, signing engineering and construction contracts, obtaining financing and reaching a final investment decision between the parties.

“This HOA aligns with our Triple Mandate, the objectives of which are to reliably and responsibly deliver production to meet energy transition pathway demand, deliver competitive returns on and of capital to our shareholders, and achieve our Paris-aligned targets and 2050 net-zero operational emissions ambition,” added Lance. “We are now positioned among the largest natural gas producers in the U.S. through our recent acquisitions of Concho and Shell’s Permian assets and are interested in expanding our LNG presence. Equity ownership in the Port Arthur LNG project would allow ConocoPhillips to participate in future expansions and lower-carbon activities in line with our own strategic initiatives.”

The use of natural gas in place of coal and refined products represents an opportunity for significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions across the globe. ConocoPhillips will leverage existing strengths in natural gas marketing and trading and emissions reduction projects in support of the Port Arthur LNG project as well as its growing global LNG portfolio. That portfolio includes the recent announcements of the company increasing its equity share in Australia Pacific LNG to 47.5% and selection as a partner in the North Field East Project in Qatar, further bolstering ConocoPhillips’ presence in the country. The company also licenses its liquefaction Optimized Cascade Process® in 27 trains around the world and has become one of the largest natural gas producers and marketers in North America.

Continues Work with the United Nations and Industry Partners to Combat Plastic Waste in the Oceans and Accelerate the “New Plastics Economy”

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Voice of the Oceans is an organization led by the Schurmanns, a Brazilian family that’s a modern-day cross between Robinson Crusoe and Jacques Cousteau. The Schurmanns have been sailing the seas for 40 years focused on their mission to rid the oceans of plastics pollution by mobilizing people, businesses, and governments around the world to adopt behaviors and policies that advance oceanic conservation.

The expedition’s sailboat, Kat, is a fully contained biosphere that is currently docked in New York Harbor where the organization continues discussions with the United Nations and industry partners on measures that will improve the health of the oceans by minimizing plastic waste.

“We saw strong momentum at the UN Ocean Conference this year for a global treaty to curb plastic pollution by establishing a legally binding international agreement over the next two years,” said David Schurmann, CEO of Voice of the Oceans and panelist at the conference, which took place in Lisbon at the end of June. “This agreement by 175 countries will take humanity a step closer toward a new plastics economy that incentivizes and rewards those who prioritize conservation-centric behaviors. Our goal with the expedition’s stop in New York is to usher in a new era of collaboration with industry leaders and develop innovations that can be applied on a large scale.”

“We’re excited to leverage Voice of the Ocean’s expertise in reducing plastic waste and apply those learnings across our supply chain,” said Marcelo Borges, CEO of Tramontina USA, a U.S. sponsor of the expedition. “In addition to our long history of eco-friendly practices, Tramontina continues to challenge itself to not only innovate, but also lead our business to a more sustainable future. Simultaneously, we also have a vision to develop new projects based on circular economy practices. In keeping with our ongoing commitment to sustainable business practices, we are working on solutions alongside environmental consulting firm Searious Business and Voice of the Oceans to reduce single-use plastic in our packaging."

Tramontina is part of a global housewares manufacturer group whose products can be found in major retailers across the U.S. and in more than 120 countries around the world. Another expedition partner is Natura, part of Natura & Co., the world’s fourth largest pure play beauty group which also includes Avon, The Body Shop, and Aesop. Known not only for the quality of its products but also for its commitment to sustainability, Natura is dedicated to addressing critical environmental issues through its business model.

In addition to offering beauty products with refills, packaging made of recycled, recyclable and renewable resources (such as sugar cane), Natura challenges the status quo with one of its latest launches by using 50% recycled glass and up to 30% plastic in Kaiak fragrance bottles – not to mention eliminating the single-use plastic cellophane (a common industry practice). What is usually put aside as trash is transformed and repurposed into something new, and most importantly removing 23 tons of recycled plastic from the environment.

“Voice of the Oceans raises awareness of the plastic waste issue and educates consumers about the interconnectedness of our actions. If consumers are not conscious about it, they won’t demand changes. We need to push the whole industry to move together and protect the environment,” says Maria Eduarda Cavalcanti, Natura USA General Manager.

Voice of the Oceans’s latest expedition began in Santa Catarina, Brazil in August of 2021 and will travel to more than 65 locations around the world before it concludes in Auckland, New Zealand in November of 2023. Some important data points about plastic waste and the negative impact on the oceans include:

• Each year, 11 million metric tons of plastic enter our oceans, and by 2040 that number is expected to climb to 80 million metric tons. That’s the equivalent of 250 Empire State Buildings worth of plastic trash.
• The amount of plastic in the ocean is expected to double in the next 15 years, and by 2050 there could be more plastic than fish in the sea (by weight).
• Globally, only 9 percent of plastic waste is recycled while 22 percent is mismanaged.
• Scientists estimate that 50-80% of the oxygen production on earth comes from the ocean – evidence that oceanic pollution is risking one of humanity’s necessary resources.

The arts are an important part of how Voice of the Oceans raises awareness about the harm plastic waste is causing to our planet. A musical performance by Crystal Sky will honor Voice of the Oceans in New York as will an art exhibit led by Chief Curator Vida Sabbaghi and Co-Curator Jade Matarazzo entitled “Obsessive Sea” with participating artists Carla Goldberg, Jacques Jarrige, Alex Korolkovas, Stephen Mallon, and Sui Park.

About Voice of the Oceans

Voice of the Oceans' purpose is to document the extent of the plastic pollution problem and identify solutions that protect the oceans and improve our planet. Our efforts are led by the Schurmann family with support from the U.N. Environment Programme, the Plastic Soup Foundation and corporate partners supporting Voice of the Ocean in its ESG efforts include perfume brand Kaiak (Natura), beer brand Corona (Ambev), writing, drawing and creative products brand Faber Castell, Basic Sanitation Company of the State of São Paulo (Brazil) Sabesp and pharmaceutical retail network RaiaDrogasil. Through the data we collect and share, we have opened a global dialogue about ocean pollution that includes not only improving our beaches, but also the animals that are harmed by our plastic waste and carry this invisible waste into the food chain. Micro- and nano-plastics found in the oceans also prevent the oceans from playing their role in sustaining the environment, such as producing oxygen and maintaining climate balance.

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Accenture (NYSE: ACN) is using a proprietary database powered by artificial intelligence (AI) to help Colonial Pipeline, the largest refined products pipeline in the United States, reduce regulated and deregulated electric utility rates for its interstate pipeline system.

The energy-management project leverages Accenture’s Utility Tracking System (UTS), a proprietary database of approximately 30 million anonymized utility bills that the company has been aggregating for more than 20 years. Built to identify power tariff options around the world, UTS uses AI-powered insights and automation as part of Accenture’s SynOps platform to continuously improve the efficiency and reliability of electricity rate-savings recommendations.

Accenture is using insights generated by UTS to evaluate power bills for operations at approximately 80 Colonial Pipeline pump stations along its 5,500-mile pipeline system, which delivers approximately 100 million gallons of refined petroleum products daily to markets in the Southern and Eastern United States. Armed with information about tariff options, Accenture presents lower-cost options — e.g., reduced cost per kilowatt-hour — to Colonial Pipeline, and then works with utilities to help implement new rates.

“This initiative, which is part of our ongoing effort to optimize utility rates, has shown encouraging results early on and should continue to help us in our comprehensive review of all utility accounts on our system,” said Tony Leo, manager of energy management and power optimization for Colonial Pipeline. “We look forward to our continued partnership with Accenture as we identify opportunities to transition to renewable energy to power our pump stations.”

Yusuf Tayob, group chief executive of Accenture Operations, added, “Our work for Colonial Pipeline is a great example of how Accenture’s long-term investments in technologies are helping clients deepen business resilience amid evolving market conditions. We look forward to making further progress on this project and to helping Colonial Pipeline evaluate how it can buy green energy, which increasingly is powering infrastructure as consumers and stakeholders demand cleaner air and less environmental impact.”
