Japan and Denmark will collaborate on floating offshore wind tech
Japan and Denmark are set to collaborate on research and development for floating offshore wind power tech, an unnamed official at Japan’s Industry Ministry told Reuters. No further details on the collaboration were disclosed yet both countries are aiming to create a global standard for the industry.
Japan has been planning to capitalize on its massive potential: Japan is planning to have a capacity of 10 GW from offshore floating wind power by 2030 and 45 GW by 2040, according to the Renewable Energy Institute. Japan also explored new partnership opportunities in wind power during the Japan Wind Conference last week.
