Over the years, carbon emissions are changing the composition of the atmosphere and exacerbating global warming and the climate crisis. On the other hand, the world's growing demand for energy causes the use of fossil fuels to increase day by day. Many states in the United Nations have agreed to reduce carbon emissions, but the transition to alternative energy sources that can replace fuels such as oil and natural gas requires a long time and strong strategic plans. Until the transition is complete, underground oil reserves will continue to be extracted and utilized, albeit in diminishing quantities over time. Oil and natural gas extraction take place not only on land but also at sea. In recent years, Türkiye has been actively drilling in the seas and has discovered natural gas reserves. In order to extract the gas found in the reserve areas, petrol platforms will be installed in the region. Offshore oil and gas platforms are usually equipped with independent electrical systems using gas turbines for energy needs. Considering the fact that fossil fuels will not be out of our lives in a short time, it would be a good start to turn to emission-reducing alternatives in offshore platforms. In this study, the feasibility of supplying the energy needs of oil and gas platforms to be installed in the identified reserve areas in the Black Sea from renewable resources has been evaluated. It is aimed to determine the potential of wind energy and wave power from renewable energy sources. For this purpose, it is planned to evaluate with three different scenarios as only wave power, only wind power and a combination of both.
