Ocean Energy Pathway was on the ground in Copenhagen for WindEurope, one of the largest wind energy gatherings in the world.
The key moment was the launch of our POWER Library (Publications on Offshore Wind Energy Research Library), an AI-powered, intuitive, and free-to-use platform for accessing and exploring best-in-class publications on offshore wind.
The in-person launch event held on 9 April drew strong interest from industry and civil society partners. And early feedback has been clear – users value having a one-stop, searchable platform to access credible, relevant information beneficial to their day-to-day research and strategy development.
In today’s global environment, misinformation and disinformation pose a growing threat to the energy transition and to the rollout of offshore wind. At WindEurope, these concerns were front and centre, with multiple sessions exploring how false narratives can undermine community engagement and even influence seasoned experts.
While high-quality, publicly accessible, and credible offshore wind research and data are abundant and available online, they are often sparse and siloed, making it time consuming to find, select, and process relevant pieces of information, especially for policymakers working in emerging markets.
Curated by offshore wind experts at Ocean Energy Pathway, and powered by Climate Policy Radar’s machine learning models, the POWER Library allows users to access and search policy concepts across and within hundreds of publications on offshore wind, along with relevant climate policies and legislation on the database. By making these publications easily accessible and searchable, the POWER Library will play a vital role in helping users understand best practices, stay up to date with the latest information, and design effective strategies for the sustainable development of offshore wind.
“We are very impressed by Ocean Energy Pathway’s new POWER Library and we are delighted to contribute WFO’s reports and white papers to the pool of highly relevant publications.”
Gunnar Herzig, Managing Director, WFO (World Forum Offshore Wind)
“The POWER Library is a fantastic tool which helps us to access latest reports about offshore wind around the world … We look forward to learning from other countries’ best practice from these archives, which will inspire and inform our future work.”
