Japan's Floating Offshore Wind: Recent Developments and Global Partnerships
[Impact Webinar] Japan's Floating Offshore Wind: Recent Developments and Global Partnerships
[Date & Time]: 15:00 - 16:30, GMT+9, September 19 Thursday
[Format]: Digital Conference (Zoom Webinar)
Description:
The Japanese government's recent approval of legislative amendments to install offshore wind turbines in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) marks a pivotal step towards Japan's carbon neutrality goal by 2050. This move is set to accelerate the expansion of offshore wind power, enabling the creation of stable and large-scale projects in maritime areas.
The establishment of the Floating Offshore Wind Technology Research Association (FLOWRA) highlights the pivotal role of floating offshore wind in achieving Japan’s ambitious targets of 10 GW by 2030 and 30-45 GW by 2040. Japan is also deepening international partnerships in floating wind development with the U.S. and Europe, reinforcing its leadership in the global renewable energy sector.
Join our September 19th webinar, a prelude to our flagship event, Japan Wind Energy 2024, taking place in Tokyo from October 15-17. Gain insights into the latest developments in Japan's offshore wind sector and its collaborative efforts on the international stage.
Expected Auditorium:
180+ offshore wind investors, energy professionals, policymakers, researchers, and supply chain partners interested in gaining insights into Japan's floating offshore wind potential and clean energy aspirations.
