"Offshore Geotechnical Challenges of the Energy Transition"
Offshore wind is the most mature of the offshore renewable energy technologies and has a significant role to play in the energy transition. 2000 GW of offshore wind capacity is anticipated globally by 2050 in order meet the targets of the Paris Agreement; 35 times the current installed capacity. The pace and scale of offshore wind ambitions to support the energy transition present a range of challenges for the offshore geotechnical sector and the broader offshore wind sector. Impacts extend across the supply chain regarding availability of raw materials for foundations, anchors and mooring systems, vessels and equipment for site investigation and installation, and trained geotechnical personnel.
The challenges extend across the life-cycle of projects from marine spatial planning, site investigation, design, manufacturing, installation, operation and decommissioning. In the keynote presentation, I will introduce a range of potential solutions to address the identified challenges, which include those to address specifically geotechnical challenges, but also geotechnical solutions that can address offshore wind challenges beyond the seabed.Keynote title: "Offshore Geotechnical Challenges of the Energy Transition"
