The alliance, initiated by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), Denmark, and the Global Wind Energy Council, will bring together governments, the private sector, international organizations, and other stakeholders to accelerate the deployment of offshore wind power.Countries joining GOWA have agreed to work together to drive national, regional, and global ambitions and remove barriers to the deployment of offshore wind in new and existing markets.Both IRENA and the International Energy Agency (IEA) expect that offshore wind capacity will need to exceed 2000 GW in 2050, from just over 60 GW today, to limit the rise in global temperatures to 1.5 degrees Celsius and achieve net zero.The Rigzone Energy Network is a new social experience created for you and all energy professionals to Speak Up about our industry, share knowledge, connect with peers and industry insiders and engage in a professional community that will empower your career in energy.Editor | Rigzone- ETAF Collects $1B Energy Transition Funding For Developing Markets- Equinor Pushes Back Wisting Investment Decision- First Wells Completed For Northern Lights Project- Corporate Renewable Procurement Sets Record In Asia Pacific- Autonomous O&G Ops Can Save 300,000 Tons Of CO2 Emissions- US Joins Global Offshore Wind Alliance At COP27- China Replaces Alaskan Expensive Crude With Russian Oil- Climate Projections Point To Dangerous 2.7C Rise By 2100- Equinor Pushes Back Wisting Investment Decision- Brookfield Makes $12B Bet Away From Fossil Fuels- Energy In Crosshairs Of UK Chancellor Plan To Fix Fiscal Hole- ETAF Collects $1B Energy Transition Funding For Developing Markets- First Wells Completed For Northern Lights Project- Saab Seaeye Takes Part in Angolan Rig to Reef Project- HOM and Rovco Form Partnership For Japanese Offshore Wind Market- Russia Sends Oil Thousands Of Miles Through Arctic Circle Again- 30 Companies Emit Nearly Half Of Energy Sector Methane- US Cuts Oil Output Forecast Again As Shale Slows Down- Exxon Set To Lose $2B On California Offshore Field Sale- Marathon Oil Adds More Eagle Ford Assets With $3B Ensign Buy- Offshore CCS Projects Could Breath New Life Into Gulf Of Mexico- Vitol Threatens Gas Halt in $1 Billion Standoff With Germany- COP27: Rich Countries Should Help Pay For Global Warming Elsewhere- US Offers Bounty For Singaporean Over North Korea Oil Shipments- ExxonMobil Makes First Angolan Discovery In 18 Years- Roslyn Expected to Become Hurricane- The USA Diesel Crisis Is Here and Spreading- Diesel Hits Chaos Mode- EIA Drops Oil Price Forecasts for 2022 and 2023- Oil and Gas Majors Hiring Right Now- CNOOC Limited Announces First Deep-Deep Large Gas Field- Top Headlines: Diesel Hits Chaos Mode and More- USA Oil Groups React to Biden Measures- Petrobras Makes Thickest Ever Oil Discovery In Brazil History- ADNOC Breaks World Record For Longest Well"
