Offshore Wind Energy Microcredential

Offshore wind energy is an increasingly vital component of the global transition to renewable energy. It involves harnessing wind power generated by turbines located in bodies of water, typically on the continental shelf. This method of energy generation offers several advantages over traditional land-based wind farms.

As countries strive to meet their renewable energy targets, offshore wind energy is poised to play a crucial role in achieving a sustainable energy future. With ongoing advancements and increasing investments, the potential for offshore wind to contribute to global energy needs while mitigating climate change is substantial.
