in this episode of the Offshore Wind Energy Transition Now mini-series, David spoke with Justine Burg, VP of Business Development, Europe Offshore Wind at Equinor, to discuss "Delivering Europe’s Offshore Wind Ambitions” Ambition is not something the Offshore Wind industry is lacking. The question is whether it can deliver on the targets being set. New and emerging markets are often singled out for discussion, but the theme of deliverability is just as important – if not more so – in Europe, the birthplace of the industry. David and Justine explored Europe’s Offshore Wind ambitions, the challe ..read more

For a technology that is essentially still in a pre-commercial phase, the expectation is high for floating wind to be the future of the offshore wind industry. But the technology landscape that is going to help floating scale is far from settled. With vertical axis wind turbines having been around for just as long as horizontal axis ones, floating also presents an opportunity for vertical turbines to play a bigger part. To discuss how the floating offshore wind sector has evolved, and the role that vertical axis turbines can have in the growth of this market, David spoke with Johan Sandberg, C ..read more

In this episode David Linden speaks with Liming Qiao, the Head of Asia from GWEC on unlocking the offshore wind potential of Southeast Asia. This is the time where the route to market for offshore wind is being developed in the region, setting it up for significant growth in the next decade. David and Liming explore the drivers for offshore wind investment, why Taiwan offers a template for the region, how the Philippines is now outpacing Vietnam as the future growth market, as well as how Korea is creating the right conditions for delivering its 14 GW target.   ..read more

Kicking off our Offshore Wind Energy Transition Now mini-series, David spoke with Mark Leybourne, the Offshore Wind Program Lead for the World Bank, to discuss emerging Offshore Wind markets. The conversation explores the unique important and role of the World bank in expanding and supporting offshore wind globally, the opportunities and challenges governments with an emerging market face, as well as what action is needed for those markets to take off ..read more

 The oil and gas supply chain plays a key role in producers achieving both efficient operations and their net zero targets. David - and co-host Teresa Wilkie - spoke with Lola Caballero, Head of the Decarbonisation Task Force at Maersk Drilling to understand the opportunities and challenges faced by drillers - and Maersk specifically - as the industry transitions.  ..read more

Offshore wind is a renewable energy source that is set for dramatic growth. WGEG forecast that today we have just over 50 gigawatts of global installed capacity, which is set to increase to almost 350 gigawatts by the end of this decade.  The question on everyone's lips though is how are we going to deliver all of this capacity? To give us their perspective on things, David Linden from WGEG speaks to Tim Pick, Offshore Wind Champion for the UK ..read more

In this episode David spoke with Thomas Boermans, Head of Foresight at E.ON on the relatively new discipline of strategic foresight. They consider the role foresight can play in organisations, and how E.ON embeds it into it's strategic thinking and business planning. David and Thomas then focus their discussion on the E.ON Trend Radar; an initiative that looks at the themes and topics shaping the future of energy ..read more
