TAILWIND aims to make renewable energy more affordable and scalable using sustainable-by-design approaches to meet the increasing demand for offshore renewable energy. Through the development of new materials for mooring lines and advancement of anchors, TAILWIND seeks to reduce raw material usage and minimise the footprint of floating offshore wind farms. The project emphasises environmentally friendly mooring configurations and anchoring systems to protect marine resources. TAILWIND also focuses on promoting the use of removable, reusable anchors and exploring the recyclability of fibre ropes to support a circular economy and ecosystem restoration efforts.
