The North Sea as Europe's future energy hub

The North Sea is becoming a cornerstone of the North-West European energy system. Offshore wind, hydrogen infrastructure, CO₂ transport and storage, ports, and industrial clusters are increasingly interconnected across national borders.

This creates new opportunities for a sustainable and secure energy system, while also raising challenges related to infrastructure planning, spatial use, affordability, resilience, and ecological balance.

In this webinar, experts from TNO, TenneT, Gasunie, government, and international North Sea organisations discuss how integrated infrastructure planning and international cooperation can accelerate the development of a future-proof North Sea energy system.

What you will learn:

How integrated offshore electricity, hydrogen, and CO₂ infrastructure can strengthen resilience and improve system efficiency.
Why cross-border coordination is essential to reduce costs, manage risks, and accelerate implementation.
How effective governance, investment, and infrastructure planning can support large-scale development.
How energy ambitions can be balanced with ecological considerations in the North Sea.
