In the future, wind energy will be playing a dominant role in raising the share of renewables in electricity generation. This will significantly reduce the emission of carbon dioxide and the use of fossil fuels. Land use limitations in areas with high population density are hindering the installation of new large wind farms. Offshore, however, there is an enormous wind resource that has the advantages of both abundant space and dense winds. In 1995, a study found that the exploitable offshore wind resource theoretically exceeds the total consumption of electricity in Europe (Fig. 16-1).
