This site is dedicated to the discussion of gas to wire, as a catalyst towards carbon neutral energy generation that also delivers immediate benefits for operators, regulators, governments and society.

As demonstrated by the UK Oil and Gas Authority’s Corporate Plan, regulators recognise the potential role that gas to wire can play in meeting the increasing demand for electricity and helping to transition to a cleaner energy future. Launching Oil and Gas UK’s new “Our Vision, Our Future” campaign at the East of England Energy Group’s (EEEGR) SNS2019 conference…
With nuclear projects on the news at the moment, I’d like to provide a quick perspective on security of supply. Nuclear projects are getting cancelled due to escalating development and construction costs: Moorside (Sellafield in Cumbria) is on hold due to Toshiba’s nuclear exit yielding a deficit of 3.8GWe to the UK’s security of electricity…
The price of EU Allowance credits (EUAs) increased rapidly in 2018. A lot of credits were put in the bank, but not only because they were needed by emitters. The main reasons for the rise were anticipation of the Market Stability Reserve (MSR), front running hedging by emitters, limited fuel switching and the entry into…
The UK Southern North Sea (SNS) has the perfect conditions for the development of Gas to Wire for the UK. Fields and infrastructure are reaching end of economic life and require expensive decommissioning, natural gas is stranded and looking for an alternative route to shore, and due to new offshore renewables infrastructure, such a route…
The role of gas in the future energy mix was the focus on Thursday at CERAweek in Houston, where leaders have been discussing the fuel of the future and the complementary nature of gas and renewables as energy sources.
The Oil and Gas Authority (OGA) revealed today it has begun investigating how to power North Sea oil and gas assets with renewable energy sources.
The analysis, aimed to increase economic growth in the North Sea region, will explore how operators can limit emissions and create a collaboration between the Scottish oil and gas and renewable energy industries.
The study includes assessments of oil platform electrification, gas-to-wire technology, carbon capture and storage (CSS), hydrogen power, as well as opportunities for North Sea power hubs.

Gas platforms and offshore windfarms could work together to maximise gas production and renewable electricity generation offshore, according to a report from the Oil and Gas Authority in the UK.
The concept of gas-to-wire (GTW) involves using the gas produced from gas fields to generate electricity offshore and then transmit it to shore via spare capacity in subsea cables used for offshore windfarms.
An innovative partnership between gas platforms and windfarms could see more power generated, maximising both gas production and renewable electricity generation offshore, according to a report from the Oil and Gas Authority (OGA).
The concept of gas-to-wire (GTW) involves using the gas produced from gas fields to be generated into electricity offshore and then transmitted to shore via spare capacity with subsea cables used for windfarms.
This OGA report looks at the technical considerations and potential benefits from GTW in areas such as the Southern North Sea and the East Irish Sea.
