Recent environmental awareness resulting particularly from the phenomenon of
global warming has pushed renewable sources of energy towards the top of the
power generation agenda. This has helped promote wind power as the most cost
effective of the renewable technologies.
The Future of Global Wind Power: the technology, economics and impact of wind
power generation is a management report that analyses the prospects for offshore
wind power generation across Europe, North America, Japan and the rest of the
world. It provides key data on the trends in wind power generation, to help you
predict where and when opportunities in offshore wind power generation will
occur.
The report explains how to identify potential sites and use advances in
technology ensure the most effective use of resources. It also details the
environmental costs and benefits of offshore wind farms with reference to key
stakeholders. These impacts are examined with reference to national, European
and International regulatory frameworks. Forecasts to 2020 are included in
respect of future capacity and changes in costs resulting from scale and
technological advances.
