Winds of change on the Black Sea – The EU plans offshore wind energy expansion
Europe's wind-energy output is on course to increase 25-fold over the next 30 years. Achieving this, however, requires making greater use of sea basins – most notably the Black Sea. If wind energy could be captured there, European climate goals would be within reach, and neighboring countries would reap the rewards.
The global race to green – The world on course for carbon neutrality?
Boris Johnson has ambitious plans to supply every home in the UK with offshore wind energy by 2030 – at an estimated cost of 50 billion pounds (55.8 billion euros). Meanwhile, Denmark is equally determined to become climate-neutral by 2040. But what is going on outside of Europe?
Offshore wind knows no bounds – EU countries share wind energy
If European climate targets are to be met, offshore wind will have to play a crucial role. Countries bordering the North Sea are therefore calling for the introduction of EU-wide framework to allow transboundary wind energy exchange. Or in other words, sharing wind power across borders. How will this be achieved?
