Australia Latest Country to Join Global Offshore Wind Alliance
Australia is the latest country to join the Global Offshore Wind Alliance, which plans to ramp up the development of the world’s wind power industry.
Together governments and companies aim to create at least 380 gigawatts of global offshore wind capacity by 2030 through knowledge-sharing and opening up new development sites for turbines.
“Australia is starting this industry from scratch, and we stand to benefit from combining efforts with the Global Offshore Wind Alliance to bolster the development of this industry and the employment opportunities it will bring,” said Chris Bowen, the Australian Labor government’s climate change minister.
Countries like Belgium, Colombia, Germany, Ireland, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, the United Kingdom, and the United States only recently joined the alliance while convening at the COP27 meeting in Sharm El-Sheikh in Egypt….
