With a planned installed capacity of over 300 GW, offshore wind energy in the North Sea will make a significant contribution to Europe's energy supply in the future. Germany intends to contribute 70 GW to this target by 2045. In order to achieve this goal, technical innovations must be developed along the entire value chain.
In the living lab 70 GW offshore wind, a holistic socio-technical analysis of the planned expansion of wind energy in the German North Sea by 2045 will be carried out. The basic principles and building blocks of possible development paths for achieving the 70 GW offshore capacity are to be developed and translated into recommendations for action. The technical innovations will be used as a lever for sustainable expansion in close collaboration with the wind industry.
The living lab works on real-world problems that are developed, processed and evaluated in a transdisciplinary manner with non-scientific stakeholders. This approach brings together researchers, authorities, civil society groups, industrial companies, media representatives and other stakeholders.
This platform is part of the research program "Transforming the Energy System Lower Saxony" (TEN.efzn).
