Marine Energy session: Joining forces to reach the European targets for offshore renewable energy
Tuesday 26 October 2021 | 13:00 – 14:00
To realise a climate neutral energy system by 2050 that is both reliable as well as cost efficient, the EU aims to deploy 40 GW of emerging renewable technologies in our seas and oceans. Specifically for marine energy, the first 100 MW need to be realised by 2025, rapidly scaling up to 1GW by 2030 to reach commercialisation. To achieve these ambitious targets, developers, supply chain, governments and investors need to connect and work together across sectors and countries. Join us in our Marine Energy Session to discuss how we can work together to step up to this challenge.
