Description: Area chart showing power generation capacity of offshore windfarms (incl. floating windfarms), compared to new land+offshore capacity that the International Energy Agency said would be needed annually from 2030-2050 to meet "Net Zero by 2050" Suggested caption: Offshore windfarms, including floating windfarms, provide a small but growing fraction of total windfarm power generation. Such power generation capacity must grow substantially to help meet the IEA's Net Zero by 2050 pathway.Source: Rosa-Aquino, Paola (29 August 2021). "Floating wind turbines could open up vast ocean tracts for renewable power".
