The advantage of locating wind turbines offshore is that the wind is much stronger off the coasts, and unlike wind over land, offshore breezes can be strong in the afternoon, matching the time when people are using the most electricity. Offshore turbines can also be located close to the load centers along the coasts, such as large cities, eliminating the need for new long-distance transmission lines. However, there are se

A new concept for offshore turbine tower construction

Our new generation of wind turbine towers and floating foundations will address this need. Using geopolymer concrete and basalt rebar creates a substantially lighter yet stronger
