#Energy & Sustainability

What future for Europe’s offshore renewable energy sector?

25 January 2022
10:00

Speakers

About

This event will, based on previous CERRE research on the revision of the REDII directive, stimulate an informed exchange of views on policy issues relating to offshore renewable energy, helping to steer CERRE’s work in this area for 2022.

The event will address the following questions:

  1. How can the development of offshore renewable energy become part of an integrated plan for the Blue Economy?
  2. How can Europe spur the development of large, cross-border projects and related infrastructure and support collaboration between Member States and neighboring coastal states?
  3. What is the role of public authorities in driving required upgrades to onshore and coastal infrastructure (particularly ports)?
  4. What will it take to drive social acceptance and foster the mutual benefits of offshore projects amongst all actors in the Blue Economy and European citizens?

The event will be organised online on Tuesday 25 January 2022 between 10:00-12:00 CET. The event will be a private session, accessible to CERRE members only. If you’re interested in joining the CERRE community, contact us at info@cerre.eu

Please contact Nazim Khiari, Project Officer for Energy & Sustainability, for more information on the event at nk@cerre.eu
