2017 Offshore Wind Technologies Market Update

August 13, 2018

The U.S. offshore wind market continues to evolve as state-level offshore wind deployment targets and procurement policies are introduced, projects advance in permitting and offtake processes, supply chain constraints are mitigated, and research and development (R&D) investments are made. Including the 30 megawatts (MW) of installed capacity, the United States now has a project pipeline of 25,464 MW of offshore wind.

White paper: Toward a new energy system

whitePaper | April 4, 2022

Climate change is real and one of the greatest challenges in the history of humankind. The impact of global warming is no longer theoretical. We’re seeing the consequences: droughts, fires, and floods at our doorstep and in every corner of the planet. We’re experiencing the warmest years since weather records began.

Getting airborne – the need to realize the benefits of airborne wind energy for net zero

whitePaper | September 20, 2022

Airborne wind energy (AWE) is wind 2.0 – a game-changing solution accessing the large untapped wind resource potential at heights above those accessed by established wind technology. It enables more energy to be extracted at lower carbon intensity and eventually at lower cost. Europe and other areas in the world need to access all viable natural resources they can, and AWE, alongside established wind technology, should be considered as one of the key solutions to our energy decarbonisation challenge.

Scaling up the American wind industry

whitePaper | January 16, 2023

With the enactment of the Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) in August 2022, the United States signaled its commitment to reducing emissions in line with the Paris Climate Agreement. The IRA’s reach extends across industries and, in particular, across energy technologies. Its primary achievement in the energy and climate space is the unprecedented provision of public incentives for clean energy deployment and manufacturing capacity. These incentives provide the necessary long-term certainty required by wind industry stakeholders to make large capital investments in the U.S. market, which will in turn create jobs and economic opportunities for communities across the country.

The future is energy-efficient, the future is data-driven

whitePaper | May 19, 2022

By 2050, global energy usage is projected to increase by almost 50% compared to 2020. This includes an increase in energy consumption in the industrial sector.1 At the time of writing, in the first quarter of 2022, the cost of energy – oil, gas and electricity – is particularly high, which has led to significant extra energy costs for companies, and prices are expected to increase.

Opportunities cost – how Australia is inadvertently squandering its long-term benefits from the energy transition

whitePaper | August 5, 2023

With the Australian energy transition, we have embarked on a once in a generation opportunity for transformation across a number of fronts. The pace and trajectory of investment is unprecedented: across the National Energy Market, which covers Australia’s eastern seaboard states

Sustainability trends to act on in 2023

whitePaper | July 21, 2023

The effects of climate change on our lives and economies have become unavoidably apparent. In 2021, the third assessment report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) observed increased warming of the Earth’s surface caused primarily by human activity, with projected increases to rising sea levels and the frequency of heat waves.
