Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft organises Green Deal Series: “Offshore Wind as a cornerstone of the European Green Deal” on 12 October 2021
EARTO Member
Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft organises its 4th webinar of the
Fraunhofer Green Deal Series on 12 October from 12.00 to 13.00 (CEST). Renewable offshore energy is of utmost importance for Europe to become the first climate-neutral continent until 2050. In this regard, the European Commission published in late 2020 the EU strategy on offshore renewable energy to harness the full potential of the ocean without emitting greenhouse gases, with the main goal to reach 60 GW by 2030 and 300 GW by 2050 in European offshore capacity. To make this possible, the EU needs to increase the effort in R&D for offshore wind to mitigate risks and to allow large-scale energy production offshore.
This webinar is hosted by the Fraunhofer EU Office Brussels under the patronage of Pernille Weiss, Member of the European Parliament. Three Fraunhofer experts will highlight the needs and potentials in the field of wind energy technology and energy system technology to reach the EU’s ambitious goal. After the presentations, interesting topics such as the global competition, EU technology leadership, the challenges and opportunities of the sector will be further discussed with the participants.
