BEIS has committed to ending the UK’s contribution to global warming by achieving net zero
greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Our work towards becoming a leader in green
technologies and clean energy will drive economic growth, all whilst accelerating global climate
action through strong international leadership. To achieve this, we need to better understand
the following research questions:

The project partially answers the question by looking at the feasibility of developing a low motion floating platform as an offshore wind foundation in both deep and shallow water sites.
Floating offshore wind in deep waters is a massive renewable energy resource ready to be tapped into to achieve carbon reduction targets. Prohibitive costs and advanced infrastructure requirement have limited growth of...

The project partially answers the question by testing the feasibility of a cost-effective universal concept of modular construction of floating platforms for offshore wind in most coastal regions of the world.
In 2009, wind turbines supplied 2% of the UK's electrical demand \[1\]. By 2019, this had risen to 20% \[2\]. The UK government is committed to quadruple offshore wind capacity over the next ten years to achieve a total ...
