    Reaching 2,000GW of offshore wind power needed to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 and will require a significant increase in current build rates. ⚠️2020: the build rate was 6GWpa 🛠️ 2050: the build rate will need to be 160 GWpa

    Offshore wind has the largest potential of ocean initiatives to reduce greenhouse gases. Every $1 invested in offshore wind production generates $2 - $17 in economic, environmental and health benefits.
