Launch of the FLOATFARM project on floating offshore wind

In this series, Euronovia is happy to present its 5 new projects starting in 2024!

 

The FLOATFARM project (Developing the Next Generation of Environmentally-Friendly Floating Wind Farms with Innovative Technologies and Sustainable Solutions) funded under Horizon Europe was officially launched on 1 January 2024 for a duration of 4 years and held its kick-off meeting on 25 January online.

Following its predecessor, the H2020 FLOATECH project (2021-2023), FLOATFARM seeks to notably enhance the development of Floating Offshore Wind (FOW) technology by increasing energy production and attaining substantial cost savings throughout design and implementation stages. The ultimate goal is to mitigate adverse effects on marine ecosystems and improve public perception of FOW farms. FLOATFARM embraces a comprehensive strategy that melds inventive designs with real-world testing in marine environments, experimental trials at laboratory scale, and models using an array of cutting-edge numerical analysis tools that go beyond current standards.

The FLOATFARM project is coordinated by TU Berlin and gathers 16 other partners from 8 countries: 6 academic partners and 10 private compagnies (large companies, SMEs, startups…).

The FLOATFARM project has a budget of 5,997,630€ funded by the European Commission.
