    Offshore Wind: How fast can it grow?
    Panel Markets/Economics/Strategy Power & Renewables Clean Tech

    Offshore wind, which started in Europe 30 years ago, is coming to the rest of the world’s power markets. The technology has improved immensely, costs are coming down, and the global pipeline of projects now exceeds 300 GW, compared to nearly 35 GW currently installed. But as aspirations grow, so do questions about delivery. Can the industry double installations in the next five years, and do in five years what previously took 30? Is there a limit to offshore wind’s growth?

    Scaling Up Low-carbon Energy: Economic, geopolitical & environmental impacts
    Workshop Energy Transition/Climate & Sustainability Decarbonization Pathways
    Many world regions face increasing pressures from global and regional changes in climate, population growth, urban-area expansion, and the socio-economic impacts of fossil-based development. One of the global community’s most significant contemporary challenges is the need to satisfy growing energy demand while simultaneously achieving very significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. Massive scaling is required for low-carbon technologies to make a substantial contribution to future global energy needs. Transition risks arise from shifts in the political, technological, social, and economic landscape that are likely to occur during the transition to a low-carbon economy. This session examines barriers for deployment of low-carbon energy and explores opportunities to accelerate decarbonization efforts.
