ABSTRACT

Nowadays, most of the offshore platforms are operated by burning of fossil fuels to generate electricity. The gas turbines and diesel generators on most platforms are used to drive pumps and compressors on board, powered up by combustion of conventional fuels. Continuous burning of these conventional fuels will generate about 80% of the total CO2 and NOx emissions from offshore installations [1]. Thus, offshore platform are facing difficulties in term of operating their activities in an environmentally manner.
