The core aim of RISEnergy lies in its efforts to establish a comprehensive network of research infrastructures, notably providing free access to academic and industry researchers seeking to strengthen their innovative capacities across ten renewable energy target areas. Given its wide technological reach, RISEnergy is the first research infrastructure project of this dimension in Europe.
To foster a deeper understanding of RISEnergy, the project is undertaking a short campaign to shed light on the importance of each renewable energy technology area, turning the focus on this occasion to offshore wind.
Offshore wind, representing a resilient, high-yield energy source for enabling the electrification of society, is set to become the backbone of Europe’s energy system. However, to reach over 350 GW of capacity by 2050, the EU must scale up rapidly. This challenge truly hinges on the need for strengthened innovation, research collaboration, industrialisation, streamlined permitting, resilient supply chains, and sustainable end-of-life strategies.
”To meet Europe’s targets, we must rethink how we design, manufacture, deploy, and retire turbines. It is not only about industrialising faster. It is about ensuring sustainability, resilience, and efficiency at every stage,” – RISEnergy Offshore Wind Leader, Anthony Fraisse (Department of Wind and Energy Systems, DTU).
Through providing free and seamless access to cutting-edge scientific facilities, ”RISEnergy helps us get there by connecting researchers across borders with advanced testing environments,” emphasised Fraisse.
