Offshore In-flux is aiming to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of oil platforms in order to work against the climate change and the resulting sea level rise, but still takes in consideration the world’s oil reliance. Currently already the production and extraction process of oil is releasing enormous amounts of CO2 and methane, since the energy which is driving the process itself derives from the combustion of fossil fuels. By replacing this with a renewable energy power plant that is directly connected to the oil rig the related emissions could be decreased drastically. How? The kinetic energy of tides and waves that are increasing because of the sea level rise, is transformed into potential energy in order to produce electricity to run and maintain the platform.
