Responsible Ocean Energy Development

Reflective of world class renewable energy resources and the need to drive forward with the energy transition to meet national emissions reduction targets, the Australian offshore renewables industry is developing at pace. Critical to the long-term success of the sector will be gaining and maintaining social licence and ensuring that projects are delivered in a safe and responsible manner. With early projects focussing on established technologies such as offshore wind, the broader Australian ocean energy sector has a significant opportunity to leverage research and development efforts to address shared challenges and develop solutions with broad application across current and emerging technologies. As the regulator for work health and safety, infrastructure integrity and environmental management for both Australia’s long-established offshore oil and gas sector and the emerging offshore renewables industry, the agency is uniquely placed to provide advice on leading practice to industry and other stakeholders on a range of environmental, socioeconomic and technical challenges. Many learnings can be taken from established sectors and projects both domestically and internationally to set our offshore renewables sector on a sustainable course.
