Offshore wind energy

Denmark and South Korea have signed a cooperation agreement regarding sustainable energy, with a focus on offshore wind. This occurred during a Danish trade delegation’s visit to South Korea, led by the Danish Minister of Energy, Utilities and Climate Lars Chr. Lilleholt.

In the coming years, India will become one of the world’s largest markets for sustainable energy, and the Indians are especially interested in wind energy. That is why Denmark is going to open a Danish-Indian knowledge centre for the development of wind energy in the country.

With almost every tenth company present at last week’s global wind summit that took place in Hamburg being a Danish one, Denmark cemented its crown as the global hub for wind energy.

MHI Vestas will supply offshore wind turbines for installation atop floating platforms. The selected turbine model will be the largest unit to date to be fixed upon the floating technology, showing that the floating technology is accelerating towards its full potential and potentially can open a much larger market for offshore wind.

The world’s largest offshore wind farm was officially opened today. Located off the Cumbrian coast, the Walney Extension consists of 87 turbines that can generate sufficient energy to power almost 600,000 UK homes.

The circular economy entails reusing and reutilising resources. A new pilot plant is to be established that will store surplus energy from wind turbines and transform it into a sustainable, green ammonia product. Doing so will also help reduce CO2 emissions.
