The Offshore Wind Accelerator (OWA) today launched the most comprehensive implementation guide for the deployment of floating LiDAR (light detection and ranging) systems. The OWA Floating LiDAR Recommended Practice report will enable developers to effectively deploy cost-effective wind measurement solutions to generate bankable data on wind resource.

Carbon Trust to collaborate with U.S-based Business Network for Offshore Wind

The Carbon Trust today revealed details of a new European phase of its world-leading collaborative research, development and demonstration (RD&D) programme - the Offshore Wind Accelerator (OWA). The programme is designed to impact the levelised cost of energy (LCoE) from offshore wind by reducing costs, improving efficiency and availability of existing and future offshore wind farms.

New analysis from the Carbon Trust has found that Iceland’s fans are European champions when it comes to having the lowest “carbon bootprint” from watching their team. With a population so small they would be unable to simultaneously fill the six largest stadia being used in the championship, Iceland are the winners thanks to providing almost all their electricity using hydropower and geothermal energy.
