More space needed at sea, European wind energy industry says
The European offshore wind industry needs an area equivalent to the size of Ireland to install enough turbines to reach carbon neutrality by 2050, a target for most EU members, a leading industry group said in a report.
Fighting climate change is a top priority for the European Commission’s new head Ursula von der Leyen, who has set out a “European Green Deal” intended to achieve “climate neutrality” – adding no greenhouse gases to the atmosphere beyond what can be absorbed – by 2050.
