Advance the energy transition

Affordable and clean energy

Access to lower-carbon energy is considered a global imperative for sustained socio-economic development and to limit climate change. As part of our core business, we deliver a broad range of services that are crucial to developing renewable energy sources while maintaining sufficient energy supply. We facilitate the delivery of low-carbon solutions such as wind energy and are one of the leading players in the offshore wind market. We have a strong and successful track record in transporting and installing offshore wind farms, mainly relating to foundations and cables.

Decommissioning within oil and gas industry

In addition to our facilitating activities in the renewables industry, our decommissioning expertise helps reduce the environmental footprint of the offshore oil and gas industry, ranging from preparation and removal of offshore platforms to onshore disposal and recycling. At Boskalis we see that a transition to cleaner energy is driving growth in renewables, but the dependence on fossil fuels is expected to continue to be significant in the short to mid-term. As nation states have reached agreements to transition away from fossil fuels in an attempt to reach global net zero emissions by 2050, there is also an acknowledgement that transitional fuels will be needed to support the energy mix as the world makes this vital switch. We foresee that natural gas in particular, with its lower carbon intensity, will serve as an important transition fuel and Boskalis also anticipates this market will continue to be strategically important for the company.

Strengthening our contribution

This element of our business contributes towards the delivery of the Sustainable Development Goals, in particular Goal 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy). Looking forward we want to expand and strengthen our capabilities and service offering in renewable energy to support a wider range of clients and geographies through the energy transition.
