Since its inception in the 1980s, the wind industry has established itself as a critical source of clean, renewable energy – a role it must maintain into the future. Going forward, the continued growth of the global wind industry will prove ever more important, with DNV estimating that 5.6 terawatts of onshore wind energy and nearly three terawatts of offshore wind must be generated to achieve a “pathway to net zero” scenario by 2050

Green growth and environmental protection are the key to the sustainability of the global economy. As global climate change escalates, the synergy between economic progress and natural boundary has become a worldwide issue, and carbon neutrality is now a common priority for all countries. Scientific studies carried out by the United Nations concluded that global temperature rise must be controlled to less than 1.5 ℃ if the world hopes to avert the worst effects of climate change, calling for greater urgency to achieve the Paris Agreement targets.

Although the European Union (EU) seems to be on track to meet this year’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction target of 20% compared to 1990 levels, it is currently not projected to achieve the 2030 targets. In line with the Paris Climate Agreement of 2015, these targets relate to domestic GHG emissions, the share of renewable energy sources and energy efficiencyi . Hence, radical change is required and we all need to do our bit. With road transport accounting for approximately 20% of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) emissions in the EU alone, the mobility sector can play an important role in helping to accomplish the environmental targets.

We’re in the midst of an unprecedented energy crisis, with soaring energy prices and faltering supply chains around the world. In Europe, we have failed to realize and mitigate our strong energy dependencies – and now, people and industries are suffering the consequences. We urgently need more wind capacity to protect our economies and our climate alike.

The role of hydrogen as a key decarbonisation tool has become the subject of significant international interest. Over 30 countries have published hydrogen roadmaps, industry has announced over 200 hydrogen projects, and governments worldwide have committed more than USD70 billion in public funding.1 Hydrogen is a uniquely versatile fuel that can be used in a range of applications as a replacement for fossil fuels. Low-carbon hydrogen has come to be seen as a vital energy carrier for hard-to-abate sectors – where decarbonisation faces technical, operational and economic obstacles, such as the steel and heavy-duty trucking industries
