Scaling existing solutions: How can we take offshore wind to the next level‪?‬ Net Zero: What's innovation got to do with it?

    • Technology

To achieve Net Zero, we don’t just need brand new technologies, we also need vast amounts more of the ones we’ve already created, such offshore wind, electric vehicles and solar power.
This isn’t just a case of doing more of the same; deploying these huge volumes, and quickly, demands a new approach. In this episode, we explore how innovation can help to scale existing solutions, with a focus on offshore wind.
Nina and Simon are joined by Lyndie Hice-Dunton, the Executive Director of the US National Offshore Wind Research and Development Consortium, Simon Sharpe, the Director of Economics at the UN High Level Climate Champions and Megan Smith, the Head of Offshore Wind Advisory at the Carbon Trust to discuss the success story of offshore wind to date, and where efforts should focus now to take offshore wind to the next level.
