Wind Energy – Floating Wind
The Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Japan, together with the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) has commissioned BLIX to perform a floating offshore wind market study in Japan.
The goal is to strengthen offshore wind collaborations between the Netherlands and Japan, and to obtain a better understanding of the floating offshore wind market in Japan.
BLIX will perform the market study over the course of the coming months, after which a seminar will be organised to present the results to companies and organisations based in the Netherlands.
Japan has an ambitious offshore wind target 30-45 GW installed capacity by 2040, which is needed to meet its decarbonisation target by 2050.
Because Japan has limited shallow-water sites where bottom-fixed offshore wind turbines can be installed, there is a strong demand for practical floating offshore wind supply chain solutions for deep water further from shore.
The strong offshore wind sector in the Netherlands could deliver such floating wind solutions in close cooperation with Japanese supply chain parties.
