據OE網4月21日報道，北海周邊歐洲國家的能源部長們將承諾在本世紀20年代末將海上風電量翻兩番，以期將該地區打造成可再生能源的引擎。

包括德國、法國和荷蘭在內的七個歐盟國家，以及英國和挪威等非歐盟國家，將在周一的峰會上承諾迅速建設風電場，開發能源“島”——連接海上綠色發電站——并啟動首個海上可再生氫生產項目。

路透社看到的一份部長峰會宣言草案將這些計劃視為結束歐洲對產能大國化石燃料依賴的一種方式，此前該國削減了對歐洲的天然氣供應。

該草案稱，“為了應對地緣政治沖突后對歐洲供應的減少，我們將加快努力，減少化石燃料的消耗以及對化石燃料進口的依賴。在周一于比利時奧斯坦德舉行的促進北海綠色能源的歐洲各國政府峰會上宣布該宣言之前，該宣言仍可能發生變化。比利時、丹麥、愛爾蘭和盧森堡的部長們也將簽署該協議”。

這九個國家的目標是到2030年北海海上風電總量達到120吉瓦，到2050年將其翻一番以上，達到300吉瓦。根據行業組織WindEurope的數據顯示，目前這些國家海上風電裝機發電量約30吉瓦。各國的目標：英國計劃到2030年海上風電達到50吉瓦，德國26.4吉瓦，荷蘭21吉瓦，比利時6吉瓦。

該草案稱，比利時、丹麥、德國和荷蘭也計劃形成一個能源島集群，而德國將啟動使用可再生能源在海上設施生產氫氣的試點項目。

這些國家還打算加強合作，以保護其海上能源資產免受安全威脅和網絡攻擊，并確保擴大海上能源生產的計劃不會損害海洋環境或當地社區。

North Sea Countries Plan to Quadruple Offshore Wind Energy Capacity by 2030

Energy ministers from European countries surrounding the North Sea are set to pledge to quadruple offshore wind energy capacity by the end of the decade as they aim to turn the region into an engine of renewable power.

Seven European Union countries, including Germany, France and the Netherlands, alongside non-EU countries the United Kingdom and Norway, will commit at a summit on Monday to rapidly build wind farms, develop energy "islands" - connected offshore green power generation sites - and launch their first projects to produce renewable hydrogen at sea.

A draft of the ministers' summit declaration, seen by Reuters, pitched the plans as a way to end Europe's reliance on the largger producer's fossil fuels, after Moscow slashed gas supplies last year following the war.

"In response to the war and attempts of energy blackmail against Europe we will accelerate our efforts to reduce fossil fuel consumption as well as dependence on fossil fuel imports," the draft said. The declaration could still change before it is announced at a summit of European governments to promote North Sea green energy in Ostend, Belgium, on Monday. Ministers from Belgium, Denmark, Ireland and Luxembourg are also set to sign it.

The nine countries are aiming for a combined 120 gigawatts (GW) of North Sea offshore wind capacity by 2030, and to more than double that to 300GW by 2050. The same countries have around 30GW of offshore wind currently installed, according to industry group WindEurope. Countries' individual aims include the United Kingdom's plan to build 50GW of offshore wind by 2030, while Germany plans 26.4GW, the Netherlands 21GW and Belgium 6GW.

Belgium, Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands also plan to form a cluster of energy islands while Germany will launch pilot projects to produce hydrogen at offshore facilities using renewable energy, the draft said.

The countries also intend to collaborate more to protect their offshore energy assets from security threats and cyber attacks, and ensure that plans to expand energy production at sea do not damage the marine environment or local communities.
