Floating wind’s environmental potential
By 2050 it is forecast that 75% of global electricity will come from renewable generation, making wind energy absolutely critical in fighting the escalating climate crisis. In this episode we hear that by sitting out in deep waters, floating wind could not only become a highly viable solution to the global energy transition, it can also serve as a thriving hub for marine life and a major, sustainable producer of green hydrogen.
