By combining world class numerical modelling and experimental modelling expertise with leading industrial technology development, INF4INiTY provides solutions for the current techno-socio-enviro-economic challenges of the floating offshore wind industry. In particular, INF4INiTY delivers two major technology innovations:
1. An innovative nature inclusive design for gravity anchors and their associated scour protection system and
2. An innovative primary artificial reef structure combined with the floating structure of a floating offshore wind turbine.
Some of the contributions of the INF4INiTY project are:
- Reduced use of primary raw materials and reduced dependency on scarce raw materials
- Improves the performance of offshore wind turbines
- Reduce the possible impacts of offshore wind turbines on protected species and habitats
- Increase sustainability of FOW turbines
- Reduce LCOE and improve the use of the marine space
- Enhanced sustainability of renewable energy and renewable fuels value chains, taking fully into account social, economic and environmental aspects in line with the European Green Deal priorities.
