Gran Canaria

A research project investigating the feasibility of installing wind turbines within the arches of the Juncal Viaduct in Gran Canaria to generate renewable energy.

A self-installing telescopic wind turbine and foundation project that successfully delivered the world's first bottom-fixed offshore wind turbine installed without heavylift vessels. The project developed innovative installation methods using concrete self-floating gravity-based structures and self-lifting telescopic towers.

Offshore wind turbine technology

Executive arm of the European Union, responsible for proposing legislation, enforcing EU laws, and approving or rejecting member state state‑aid schemes.

A foundation system that floats and is stabilized by its own weight, eliminating the need for pile-driving or other traditional seabed anchoring methods.

A self-lifting concrete tower that can extend vertically, allowing the wind turbine to be assembled onshore and then raised to operational height at sea.

A wind turbine is used to generate electricity, which then powers the electrolysis process for hydrogen production.
