Common use of THEMATIC AREAS Clause in Contracts

THEMATIC AREAS. The Parties are launching a call for proposals relevant for industry within upstream, offshore petroleum and environment-friendly energy. The thematic areas relevant for the call within environment-friendly energy are: • Wind power o Sustainable and cost-effective wind turbines, foundation solutions, installation methods and connection solutions o Operation, maintenance, decommissioning and recycling o The impact of wind power on the environment and society, including the processes for awarding and licensing new fields • Solar energy • Hydrogen and hydrogen-based energy carriers o Production of hydrogen, both blue and green, and hydrogen-based energy carriers o Storage, transport and distribution of hydrogen o Use of pure hydrogen in industrial processes o Long range transport; especially in maritime industry o Other aspects related to hydrogen as an energy carrier such as safety, sustainability, business models and regulations The thematic areas relevant for the call within petroleum are: • Reducing greenhouse gases, improving energy efficiency and the environment Research on and development of technology and expertise which will lead to reduced greenhouse gas emissions, improved energy efficiency, reduced emissions to sea and a smaller environmental footprint • Subsurface understanding, including use of CO2 for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) Knowledge, expertise and technology related to the development of exploration models, as well as production in the reservoir in order to achieve a higher degree of utilisation • Drilling, completion and intervention • Production, processing and transport • Major accidents and the work environment, including cyber security
