North Sea to become Europe's green energy hub.
TL;DR Summary
European countries surrounding the North Sea, including France, Germany, and the Netherlands, alongside non-EU countries Norway and the United Kingdom, are set to pledge to expand renewable generation in the region to strengthen energy security. The aim is to curb reliance on Russian gas and reduce the use of CO2-emitting fossil fuels. The nine countries aim for a combined 120 GW of North Sea offshore wind capacity by 2030 and 300 GW by 2050, more than quadrupling the current 25 GW. The countries will commit to building wind farms rapidly, developing "energy islands," and working on carbon capture and renewable hydrogen projects in the region.
