Offshore Wind is one of the fastest growing industries worldwide. Many nations have set ambitious targets for rapid build out of large-scale offshore wind projects in an effort to accelerate the decarbonisation of their electricity supply.

This talk will discuss the challenges and opportunities that these projects represent on a global scale, their impact in the context of the local marine environment and an overview of the technology involved in achieving our targets sustainably.

This meeting wil be conducted online only – further details in our Newsletter.
