ONE-Dyas gets go ahead to Develop Dutch North Sea Gas Field using Wind-powered Platform.
The Dutch government has given the go-ahead for the production of natural gas from the N05-A field and surrounding fields in the North Sea by ONE-Dyas (in joint venture with EBN B.V. ) As of June 3rd, the final permits are made available for inspection by the Ministerie van Economische Zaken en Klimaat.
Chris de Ruyter van Steveninck, CEO ONE-Dyas: "Project N05-A and the energy transition go hand in hand. The transition to 100% renewable energy takes time. Natural gas will still be part of the energy mix in the coming decades. As long as natural gas is still needed to heat our homes, we will make sure it is as clean, affordable and reliable as possible. "
The development of N05-A fits the small fields policy of the Dutch government. Locally produced natural gas has a 30% lower carbon footprint than imported natural gas, increases the security of supply of our energy and contributes to the economy.
The N05-A platform will run entirely on wind energy from the nearby Riffgat wind farm, which further reduces the carbon footprint. This project makes an active contribution to the energy transition and to achieving the goals of the Climate Agreement, in a safe and responsible manner.
ONE-Dyas aims to deliver the first natural gas to Dutch and German households by the end of 2024. The N05-A project is part of the so-called GEMS area, an area approximately 20 to 100 kilometers north of the Ems estuary. ONE-Dyas is currently actively exploring the potential of other gas fields in this part of the North Sea.
