NewsTidal, wave or floating wind? 4 emerging Spanish technologies
To date, not a single megawatt of offshore wind has contributed to Spain’s renewable energy total – and this is not surprising as the lack of continental shelf means the water is far too deep for fixed-bottom turbines. It means a host of other technologies are emerging to fill the void, and we look at four of some that were presented at World Maritime Week in Bilbao last week.
