Renewable energy sources are a central component for the decarbonisation of the energy sector, thereby providing an essential contribution to the mitigation of climate change. Offshore wind, both with fixed foundations and floating, is deemed to be a central technology, and it is expected to expand substantially in the next decades. Accordingly, new technologies and practices in offshore wind are developing rapidly to cater for the need to accelerate such technology globally.
As a first-mover in offshore wind energy, Denmark, and its renewables industry, has proven itself to be a global leader in offshore wind development. Against this backdrop, this roundtable will bring together experts from the renewables industry, who will share challenges and best practices in developing offshore wind in Denmark and beyond.
Where: University of Copenhagen, Faculty of Law, Meeting Room 8A-0-57, Njalsgade 76, 2300 Copenhagen S.
