(OWPL) consortium will bring together the partners’ extensive expertise to leverage Scotland’s domestic supply chain and deliver world-class developments that will accelerate the country’s energy transition. All partners have ambitious plans. TotalEnergies is targeting the development of 35 GW of gross renewable generation capacity by 2025 and 100 GW by 2030, while GIGhasover 250projects under development and construction, with a pipeline of more than 30GW, and is developing or has invested in over 20 offshore wind projects around the world with a cumulative capacity of over 12 GW. RIDG has been created specifically with the aim of putting Scottish companies and communities firmly at the centre of this global opportunity. In February 2021, GIG and TotalEnergies successfully secured rights to a seabed lease in the Eastern Regions zone in the Crown Estate’s England and Wales Offshore Wind Leasing Round 4 to develop a 1.5 GW offshore wind project. The companies are also working together in South Korea to co- develop a portfolio of floating offshore wind projects with a potential cumulated capacity of more than 2 GW.

route development, hydraulics, preliminary engineering, cost estimating, and an initial decarbonisation SCORE assessment. “We have a strong history of delivering CO 2 handling and transportation projects and will combine this service-specific expertise with our pipeline project strength to execute this pre-FEED,” said SVP of onshore upstream/ midstreamand field services, MarkNetzel. “At Wood, we are prioritising the development of our decarbonisation solutions and will leverage best practices to reduce the overall carbon footprint of this project.” TotalEnergies, Green Investment Group and RIDG join forces for Scottish offshore wind bid TotalEnergies has joined forces with Macquarie’s Green Investment Group (GIG) and Renewable Infrastructure Development Group (RIDG) to bid for sites in Scotland’s forthcoming offshore wind leasing round (ScotWind).

foundations were fixed on the seabed and jacket legs cut to height, topsides lift operations were undertaken by the Seaway Strashnov heavy lift vessel. After the final welding of the connections between the topsides and jacket the IOG, HSM Offshore and ODE Asset Management teams then performed all the necessary inspections and checks. IOG CEO Andrew Hockey noted: “Safe, successful and timely installation of the Blythe and Southwark unmanned platforms is another important milestone for our Phase 1 development. These facilities are integral to our infrastructure-led hub strategy and form a pivotal link between our co-owned and operated offshore pipeline network and our onshore Thames Reception Facilities at Bacton Terminal.” Wood to support world’s largest carbon capture and storage project recently announced its plans to develop a new carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) capture, transportation, and sequestration project, which will connect multiple sources throughout US states Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, South Dakota and North Dakota. The project includes a gathering and transmission pipeline system to support capture and permanent storage of up to 10 million tons of CO 2 annually, making it the largest CCS project in the world. handling design and pipeline project execution, Wood has been engaged by Summit to performpre- FEED (Front End Engineering and Design) analysis on the CO 2 pipeline network. Wood will support Summit with concept selection activities for the pipeline system, including Summit Carbon Solutions As an industry leader in both CO 2
