Offshore wind energy

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.

By sharing wind farm data with technical universities, Ørsted aims to further improve wind farm design and inspire future engineers to join the green energy industry.

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 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.

New foundation for offshore wind turbines is both cheap and eco-friendly.

In partnership with the Danish consulting group COWI, who specialises in engineering, environmental science and economics, Taiwan has started its first offshore wind adventure. The task is demanding due to the lack of geotechnical data and local knowhow as well as rough weather conditions.
