  • Opportunities and Challenges for a Floating Offshore Wind Market in California
    Opportunities and challenges for a floating offshore wind market in California PIETER-JAN VANDENBRANDE Master of Science Thesis Stockholm, Sweden 2017 Opportunities and challenges for a floating offshore wind market in California Pieter-Jan Vandenbrande Master of Science Thesis INDEK 2017:71 KTH Industrial Engineering and Management Industrial Management SE-100 44 STOCKHOLM Master of Science Thesis INDEK 2017:71 Opportunities and challenges for a floating offshore wind market in California Pieter-Jan Vandenbrande Approved Examiner Supervisor 2017-05-30 Terrence Brown Serdar Temiz Commissioner Contact person n.a. n.a. Abstract The offshore wind energy industry is a rapidly growing industry as solutions are becoming cost-competitive and there is an increasing need to limit greenhouse gas emissions. New floating offshore wind turbine designs now enable the access to previously inaccessible offshore wind resources. In this research, a comprehensive analysis is made of the different factors influencing the macro environment for a potential floating offshore wind energy market in California. The analysis assesses the relevant political, economic, social, technological, environmental, and legal aspects in California. The outcome of this research shows the opportunities and challenges for a floating wind turbine market in California. It is found that there are many opportunities present due to California's political and economic climate. There is considerable support for offshore wind projects on the state level, demonstrated by the active engagement of the governor and the creation of the California Task Force. The large economy and high electricity prices are promising for future projects. Furthermore, wind resources are vast and the technical infrastructure is present, especially Southern California is well suited.

  • Strategic Trade-Offs and Sustainable Supply Chains
    Strategic trade-offs and sustainable supply chains Michel Leseure ([email protected]) University of Chichester Business School Please reference this paper as: Leseure, M. 2016. 'Sustainable trade-offs and sustainable supply chains ', Proceedings of the Euroma Sustainable Operations and Supply Chains Forum, Lancaster, April 11-12. Abstract Supply chain management researchers typically do not concern themselves with social acceptance. This is paradoxical as processes of social acceptance shape supply chain networks, influence location decisions, and define the underlying values from which supply chain design principles are formulated. Through a case study of the UK electricity supply chain and the decision not to build the Navitus Bay wind farm this paper concludes that the decision was the result of political processes that marginalise or ignore genuine sustainability trade-offs. It is unlikely that a truly sustainable electricity supply chain can ever be designed if such practices continue. Keywords: energy supply chain, trade-off, sustainability Introduction Should electricity supply chains be designed to utilise renewable energy sources such as wind power? In the light of many national and supra-national initiatives to reduce carbon emissions and to adopt a sustainability agenda, the answer to this question seems an obvious yes, but reality is more complex as 75% of wind power projects are abandoned at the consent stage and this despite a majority of the public being in favour of wind power (ReNews, 2015). Social acceptance is a well researched subject in the social sciences but it has never been a subject of inquiry in supply chain management research. This is paradoxical because processes of social acceptance shape supply chain networks, influence location decisions, and define the underlying values from which supply chain design principles are formulated.

  • Renewables Must Respect the Coast That They Will Help to Protect
    Offshore wind farms and all forms of Green Renewable energy should be supported • The proposed Rampion 2 wind farm would be: • INSHORE – not OFFSHORE - against the guidelines • NOT GREEN – site has poor wind performance • DESTROY TOURISM • IN THE WRONG PLACE • NOT GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT • NOT NEEDED – Net Zero Carbon Target will be exceeded without Rampion 2 - already 60GW in the 2030 pipeline Copyright © Protect Coastal England 2021 - Contains OS data. © Crown copyright and database right (2021) 1 Renewables must respect the environment that they aim to protect. • More renewable energy is a national and global priority. • We support new offshore wind farms, like any other aspect of the built environment, they need to be sensitively and rationally planned to minimize harm. • "We will conserve and enhance the beauty of our natural environment, and make sure it can be enjoyed, used by and cared for by everyone."* *(Quote from the summary targets of the government’s 25 year environment plan 16 May 2019) We need truly green wind farms that tread lightly on the environment. Copyright © Protect Coastal England 2021 - Contains OS data. © Crown copyright and database right (2021) 2 Climate Change and Renewable Energy • There is increasing recognition that we need to act quickly and decisively to slow down and bring to a halt the change to our climate. We agree. • A significant increase in renewable energy generation is one key part of the change we need to make. • We also need to use our resources wisely: minimising waste and focus on doing the best for our environment. • Currently generation of electricity using wind turbines is one of the simplest renewable technologies to use.

  • Written Representation by the National Trust – Interested Party No: 10028761
    Written Representation by the National Trust – Interested Party No: 10028761 Introduction The National Trust, established over 115 years ago, is a leading conservation charity with over 4 million members. The Trust has a statutory duty under the National Trust Acts ‘to promote the permanent preservation of places of historic interest and natural beauty, and their enjoyment by the public, for benefit of the nation, forever, for everyone”. To achieve this aim, the Trust manages over a quarter of a million hectares of land, more than 700 miles of unspoilt coastline and estuary, several hundred historic houses, gardens and parks, and 6 World Heritage Sites. More than 100 million visits are made every year to the properties in the Trust’s care. Our core purpose is to look after special places, for ever, for everyone. This applies to off-shore and coastal places as much as it does to inland sites especially in relation to the National Trust’s direct ownership of land within The Isle of Purbeck, Dorset, and the Isle of Wight (please see Annex 1) and to the Trust’s wider remit to protect environmental interests and respond where there are impacts on the natural and historic environment. We are deeply concerned about the visual impact on the setting of UNESCO designated World Heritage Jurassic coast, on two major Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Heritage Coast and the New Forest National Park. The Director of the Culture Sector of the World Heritage Centre of UNESCO wrote to the UK Government on the matter. The letter dated 02/05/14 included an annex with details of possible impacts as set out by their designated advisors on natural World Heritage Sites, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
