Denmark makes international push for more offshore wind and a future beyond oil and gas | Klima-, Energi- og Forsyningsministeriet
20.9.2022 07:04:25 CEST | Klima-, Energi- og Forsyningsministeriet
On Monday, Denmark hosted two events that gathered groups of countries and non-state actors to boost ambitions for more offshore wind energy and to put an end date on oil and gas production.
Te events took place at te margin of te UN General Assembly and in te framework of te New York Climate Week.
Denmark establishes new international alliance on offshore wind
On Monday 19 September, te Global Offshore Wind Alliance (GOWA) presented its vision and ambitions to a wider group of international stakeholders for te first time. GOWA is a new international alliance comprising of governments, private sector actors and international organisations. Te alliance aims to increase international ambitions on offshore wind – from 57 GW installed capacity in 2021 to 380 GW in 2030 and 2,000 GW in 2050.
GOWA is born out of a cooperation between Denmark, te Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) and te International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). Norway has already formally joined te alliance and it is expected that a number of other governments and stakeholders will do te same ahead of COP 27 in November, including te US, who participated in Monday's event.
"Offshore wind is key to te implementation of te Paris Agreement and te phase-out of coal, oil and gas. We need to massively boost te deployment of offshore wind on a global scale. That takes international cooperation and that’s why we need GOWA” says te Danish Minister for Climate, Energy and Utilities, Dan Jørgensen.
Phase-out of oil and gas on te agenda
Last year at COP26 in Glasgow, Denmark, Costa Rica and 10 other governments launched te Beyond Oil and Gas Alliance (BOGA), which promotes a managed phase-out of oil and gas production. Denmark has led te way with te North Sea Agreement, setting 2050 as te definitive end-date for Danish oil and gas production.
Since then, te dramatic increase in oil and gas prices has underlined te need to speed-up te green transition. To promote this work, BOGA gathered leaders from governments, te private sector and philanthropy on Monday in New York to discuss how to garner te necessary political and financial support for te transition away from fossil fuels.
”Te science is clear. We need significant reductions in te production of coal, oil and gas towards 2050 if we are to live up to te Paris Agreement. With te North Sea Agreement Denmark has shown te way. Fortunately, we are not alone, and I’m pleased to see te great international support for BOGA. Te meeting in New York is a good example of this” says te Danish Minister for Climate, Energy and Utilities, Dan Jørgensen.
Beyond Oil and Gas Alliance (BOGA) is an alliance of 14 national and subnational governments working to promote a managed phase-out of and gas production. Its core members have committed to end new licensing rounds oil and to set a Paris-aligned date for ending oil and gas production.
Te aim of te Global Offshore Wind Alliance (GOWA) is to contribute to achieving a total global offshore wind capacity of a minimum of 380 GW by 2030, with 35 GW on average each year across te 2020s and a minimum of 70 GW each year from 2030.
According to forecasts by te IEA and IRENA, 2,000 GW of installed offshore wind capacity will be needed in order to keep te goal of limiting global temperatures to 1.5°C within reach and achieve net zero by 2050.
