The crowded waters of the North Sea will make room for a first-of-its kind seaweed farm, to be co-located with an offshore wind farm.
With a rapidly growing economy, vast coastlines available for offshore wind power, and high solar radiation levels, Vietnam has all of the ingredients to be a world leader in renewable energy. A report by McKinsey & Company found that Vietnam is the country in Southeast Asia best suited for wind … [continued]
A new offshore wind farm will host an aquaculture pilot project, featuring Hexicon’s unique two-headed floating turbines.
A month ago, we reported on how opponents to solar farms who appear to be local are actually supported by national organizations with one mission — protecting fossil fuels. You might ask yourself why anyone would want to protect fossil fuel companies when their activities have altered the Earth’s climate. … [continued]
Root Energy Inc., Korea’s leading renewable energy local acceptance solution provider as well as a certified B Corp, has successfully raised KRW 20 billion (approx. $15 million) crowdfunded by residents of Suwon-ri, Hallim-eup, Jeju Island. It allows Korea’s largest offshore wind farm Jeju Hallim Offshore Wind to meet qualification for … [continued]
The team traveled to the East Coast to install instrumentation that will be crucial for numerical weather prediction models. The Wind Forecast Improvement Project 3 (WFIP3) aims to improve wind forecasts and drive down the cost of offshore wind energy. The project is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy … [continued]
Memories of a bad 2023 are already fading from memory as US offshore wind industry picks up the in 2024, with 15.5 gigawatts in sight.
When Angel McCoy was in third grade, she fell in love with the sky. “I became obsessed with weather, space, and earth science,” recalled the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) senior offshore wind regulatory specialist. “I knew I was either going to be a meteorologist or an astronaut when I grew up.”
The nation is closer to its offshore wind energy goals than ever before, but has some rough waters yet to navigate. To further reduce risk and costs associated with offshore wind development—and help assure future wind farms operate efficiently and reliably—better wind forecasting is needed. Weather patterns are difficult to … [continued]
