Wind energy storage patent

Do patent statistics reveal technological trends in the offshore wind supply chain?

This patent insight report on innovation trends in the offshore wind supply chain, jointly prepared by the European Patent Office (EPO) and the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), assesses patent statistics to reveal technological trends in the offshore wind industry.

Will offshore wind reach 494 GW and 2 465 GW?

Despite these positive developments, further innovation and action are required by the international community to ensure the global capacity of offshore wind reaches 494 GW and 2 465 GW by 2030 and 2050, respectively, in compliance with IRENA’s 1.5 ° C scenario.

How many GW of offshore wind are there in 2022?

According to IRENA statistics, a cumulative 63 GW of offshore wind capacity was installed worldwide as of 2022, and the levelised cost of electricity (LCOE) generated from offshore wind fell by 59% in the period 2010-2022.
