  1. 1. The polarized attitudes of offshore wind - The social acceptance of planned offshore wind farm Västvind among Öckerö municipality residents

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för miljö- och klimatvetenskap (CEC)

    Author : Milla Marzelius; [2023]
    Keywords : Offshore wind energy; Social acceptance; Place attachment; Västvind; Öckerö; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Climate change, the energy crisis of 2022-2023, and estimations of future electricity demands have stressed the necessity for a rapid transition of the energy system. Offshore wind energy plays an important role in this transition, and is expected to expand considerably on a global level, in the EU and in Sweden. READ MORE

  3. 2. Swedish Offshore Wind : Modelling development pathways to commercial viability

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Siddharth Iyer; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Offshore wind will play an important role in Sweden’s fossil-free energy future. Although Sweden has many offshore wind farms in the planning and approval stages, few projects have been built, and little public research on which offshore wind areas and individual farms are most economically viable.
