Episode 6: Floating Wind’s Environmental Potential
By 2050 it is forecast that 75% of global electricity will come from renewable generation making wind energy critical in fighting the climate crisis. In this episode we hear that by sitting out in deep waters floating wind could not only become a viable solution to the energy transition, it can also be a hub for marine life and also a major producer of green hydrogen.
