Airborne Wind Energy ›
High altitude winds contain a vast unexploited energy source with the potential to transform the global renewable energy mix. The $58 billion wind industry currently provides almost half of installed clean energy capacity worldwide and is predicted to grow 25% each year. The airborne wind energy industry is uniquely positioned to capture a large segment of the growth potential of the overall wind industry.
Airborne wind energy:
- offers the lowest cost renewable energy
- produces nearly double the energy of comparable conventional wind turbine
- enables quicker deployment
- makes offshore development more economical
