Abstract

In connection with the signing of the Paris Climate Agreement in 2016, the largest vertically integrated oil and gas companies in various countries should reconsider their activities in the direction of reducing their carbon footprint. In this regard, industry leaders form new approaches to the further development and expansion of business in new conditions, their capital is involved in related areas of activity, in particular, in the development of wind energy in the oceans. This article discusses the classification of offshore engineering structures of the wind energy industry by members of the international association of classification societies, from offshore wind turbines with fixed and floating substructures, to ships that perform operations for their construction, installation, repair, maintenance, inspection, etc. In addition, the paper highlights the issues of using the offshore fleet and technical means of the wind energy sector in modern realities, the prospects for their further development in Russia and in the world.

Keywords: wind energy, ocean technology, classification, offshore wind turbine, vessel, support, classification society, RES, decarbonization.
