The world’s energy demands are predominantly met through the extraction of subterranean natural resources. However, the relentless increase in energy consumption has resulted in the depletion of these resources and a consequent surge in carbon dioxide emissions, significantly impacting the climate and posing a grave threat to ecosystems. Addressing this challenge requires a shift towards renewable energy sources to replace finite underground resources in energy production. While this transition is widely acknowledged by the public, civil society organizations (CSOs), and many governments, it is fraught with economic, political, and social challenges during the implementation phase of renewable energy projects. Consequently, the full replacement of fossil fuels with renewable alternatives in energy production may require a considerable period. Oil and natural gas, essential non-renewable resources utilized across various industrial sectors and for energy generation, are extracted both onshore and offshore and cannot be abruptly phased out. To mitigate carbon emissions, alternative strategies must be devised concurrently with the ongoing operations of these extraction fields. The integration of renewable energy sources into offshore platforms has become increasingly viable due to cost reductions and technological advancements. This study delves into the efficacy of deploying renewable energy solutions for an oil and gas field slated for development along the Black Sea coast of Türkiye. It elucidates how strategically incorporating renewable energy resources can enhance the operational efficiency and environmental sustainability of offshore platforms.
