Green Conversion of Decommissioned Oil Rigs

Abstract

This paper present a project for converting a decommissioned oil rig in the Adriatic Sea into an additional source of economic revenue, as well as implement clean, renewable energy in order to demonstrate that oil platforms can be repurposed towards the international objective of decreasing carbon emissions. Numerous methods of clean, renewable energy production were considered, and after careful consideration, a parabolic solar trough system was determined as the most practical. In regards to replacing the platform’s operations, a fish farm was determined to be the most economical and environmentally beneficial system. Additionally, a restaurant and hotel are also being considered, however, further economical research is required.
