Offshore wind power plants could operate alongside carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects in the North Sea so long as a close eye was kept on the sites below the seabed used for seismic activity, according to a new study for the Dutch government.

The study, carried out by geodata specialist Fugro for the Netherlands’ ministry of economic affairs and climate policy, concluded “both offshore wind farms and CCS [operations] can coexist” but flagged four key recommendations “to ensure the safety of future projects”.
