EIA for Offshore Wind Farms in Ireland under the Climate Impacts

More about the book

Focusing on the crucial role of offshore wind farms in the renewable energy transition, the book explores the significant impacts of climate change on these energy sources. It details how rising global temperatures, increasing sea levels, and the frequency of extreme weather events will affect wind speed, wave height, and sea ice. Predictions indicate that a 3-degree Celsius rise could lead to a notable increase in severe wave activity, particularly in the southern hemisphere and northern Pacific, highlighting the urgent need for adaptive strategies in this sector.
