The global energy landscape is undergoing a transformation with an increasing demand for clean and renewable energy sources. Wind energy is a crucial player in this transition. The technology that can increasingly contribute to this development is floating offshore wind. This promising technology is key to unlocking the potential of wind energy in deeper waters.
The shift to floating wind turbines is especially evident in countries such as Japan, France, Italy, and the U.S., where utilizing the abundant wind resources in deeper waters with fixed wind turbines is a problem. Europe, with around 80% of its offshore wind resources at depths of more than 60 meters, is at the forefront of the development of floating offshore wind farms, with more than 40 GW of planned capacity by 2035.
