Why we need the European wind industry and how to safeguard it

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.

Automakers and their suppliers have always faced a host of challenges, and this decade is no exception. There is an urgent need for answers to several trends: the increased consumer demand for EVs, legislation for reduced emissions, and the rise in urbanization. In fact, consumers and policymakers alike are calling for more sustainable and more advanced vehicles that do not compromise on performance or safety. Just this year, an EY survey of 13 developed nations indicated that 41% of those intending to buy a new vehicle in the year ahead would choose a BEV (battery electric vehicle), HEV (hybrid electric vehicle), or PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle).

Over the past decade, state governments, local municipalities, and large corporations have increased momentum for the adoption of net zero carbon policies, and with the signing of the Inflation Reduction Act in August 2022 that will provide hundreds of billions of dollars of investment in clean energy, that net zero carbon future now looks more achievable. E3 has been at the forefront of analyzing possible decarbonization pathways across North America. While there are multiple potential pathways on the road to net zero, it will ultimately result in a fundamental shift over time from an era of dominated by fossil fuel generation resources to one dominated by renewables, energy storage, and demand-side resources. This will result in a major transformation in how electricity markets function.

Data centers leave a significant carbon footprint and, as the need for these mission critical facilities continues to surge, the current trajectory is toward increasing power use and greenhouse gas emissions. Greenhouse gas emissions can contribute to extreme weather and put the health of our planet at risk. There is growing demand from both the public and industry to reduce the environmental impact of all businesses — sustainability has moved into the corporate domain and, due to regulations and the cost implications of reducing a carbon footprint, it can be a hot button issue.

Since establishing its first European R&D center in Sweden 20 years ago, Huawei has been collaborating to innovate and develop alongside European partners. Currently, Huawei has more than 15,000 employees in Europe, about 70% of whom are locally recruited, and indirectly supports more than 224,000 jobs, with 2 regional offices and 27 R&D centers. Huawei has established 230 technical cooperation projects and has partnered with over 150 universities across Europe. Today, green development has become an important trend. Green development, on par with the digital economy, has emerged as a major area of focus and global consensus in the roadmaps released by economies, including those in Europe. Huawei is committed to using technology to contribute to a better planet. We support Europe in achieving carbon neutrality through reducing carbon emissions, contributing to a circular economy,promoting renewable energy, and conserving nature with technology

Offshore wind is the primary supplier of CO2-free electricity moving towards decarbonising the Dutch power system. The installed capacity aims to increase sevenfold to 21.5 GW by 2030. However, the current market trends of increasing renewable capacity, industrial electrification, gas and CO2 prices, the expansion of interconnection, and the need for grid reinforcements are making the power market more volatile. These trends, together with the phasing out of subsidies, result in increasing the risks for offshore wind business.
