Having authored numerous high-impact journal articles, including 'The Enduring Role of Contracts for Difference in Risk Management and Market Creation for Renewables' in Nature Energy to highlight the importance of contracts for difference (CfDs) in stabilising the financial landscape for renewable projects and ensuring their competitiveness and sustainability, Dr Jansen has contributed valuable insights into research, academia and consultancy in the field of renewable energy. His research on hydrogen costs, contracts for difference and the integration of renewable energy systems has been influential and his work has real-life impact, evidenced by numerous media appearances, recognition in the field and considerable influence on policy. Dr Jansen is also recognised for his research on CfDs, which are instrumental in reducing investment risks and fostering market creation for renewable energy.

The topic of this presentation is 'Offshore Wind - Technology, Economics and Policy'. Offshore wind is shaping up to become a game changing technology in battling climate change. Its scalability, technological progression, low(er) intermittency and potential links to a hydrogen economy makes it an obvious choice for decarbonising energy system around the world. Offshore wind capacity is set to quadruple by 2030, exceeding 200 GW globally. This seminar will explore the current status of offshore wind, touching on technical, economic and political aspects in the UK and worldwide, and shed light on what the future might hold for the technology.

The seminar will be held on 5 December 2024, 1:00pm, in room 201 of the Henley Business School building, Whiteknights campus. For those unable to attend in person there is also the option to dial in remotely via Microsoft Teams. If you are interested in joining, please contact Alex Baker on a.j.baker@henley.ac.uk
