Floating offshore wind turbines offer “huge potential” for the decarbonisation of Ireland’s energy and for the Irish economy overall, according to Professor Andrew Keane, Director of UCD Energy Institute, who was speaking ahead of the global climate summit and the Dublin Climate Dialogues, which takes place tomorrow and Thursday.
The Dialogues seeks to scale up ambition in the run up to the COP26 Summit and will bring together senior government representatives from the US, China, Europe, UK and the UN along with high-profile business representatives and leading economists to forge a declaration on how to turn net-zero pledges into concrete energy policies, and the actions that need to be adopted.
