ENVIRONMENT REPORT 2017

As well as age, emissions levels are dependent upon the type of installation. Larger steel platforms, or concrete gravity structures, tend to generate more emissions than smaller platforms as a percentage of total production. This is because larger platforms tend to generally be older, but more importantly, require more power to run and therefore house larger turbines.
