| Sumario: | Transforming the energy sector requires a shift towards renewable energy sources. The world's oceans are a source of abundant renewable energy, which can be tapped through offshore wind (with fixed and floating foundations, or airborne), floating solar photovoltaics (PV) and other emerging ocean energy technologies. The G20 Italian presidency of 2021, acknowledging the importance of offshore renewables in the energy transition, commissioned IRENA to analyse and develop a proposed action agenda to foster offshore renewables deployment globally. Offshore renewables include offshore wind, ocean wave, tidal, thermal and salinity gradient technologies and floating solar PV. To put the world on a climate-safe pathway, IRENA's 1.5°C scenario foresees a massive growth in offshore wind, ocean energy and floating photovoltaic in the coming decades. Offshore wind for example would increase from 34 GW in 2020 to reach 380 GW by 2030 and more than 2,000 GW by 2050. Ocean energy would represent additional 350 GW of offshore renewable generation capacity by 2050. |
