Date recorded: June 17, 2021
The rapid emergence of renewables into the energy mix is one of the key signals that we are in the middle of an energy revolution. Wind energy is being recognized as instrumental to delivering on decarbonization goals that have been established by both countries and industry.
While many European countries have been embracing offshore wind for the past several years, the push for offshore development in other regions like the Americas and Asia is becoming even bigger. The development of technologies and solutions that allow offshore wind to be more affordable and developed faster and further is key to the success of this industry. What challenges stand in the way? What lessons can be re-used from other industries and applied to offshore wind? Will there be key technologies that stand out? Can the supply chain keep up with this growing demand?
