The ‘Turbine City’ is an on office concept that might help Norway might meet the EU’s goal of getting 20% of its energy from renewable sources by 2020. Turbine City could also make Norway a renewable energy exporter to the region.
Wind conditions off the coast of Norway make it one of the best for wind-power generation. The country also has a lot of experience with funding and building off-shore installations because of its oil interests.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Turbine City
- Norway's concept of a wind-power driven city presents opportunities for the development of sustainable urban environments.
- Renewable Energy Export
- Norway's potential as a renewable energy exporter to the region opens up opportunities for economic growth and international partnerships.
- Offshore Wind-power Generation
- The favorable wind conditions off the coast of Norway contribute to the potential for disruptive innovations in offshore wind-power generation.
Sectors Adopting This
- Renewable Energy
- The concept of Turbine City and Norway's potential as an energy exporter present opportunities for growth in the renewable energy industry.
- Urban Development
- The development of Turbine City could spur innovations in sustainable urban planning and design.
- Oil and Gas
- Norway's experience in funding and building offshore installations, due to its oil interests, can be leveraged in the development of offshore wind-power generation technologies.
