While a wind-powered cargo vessel may seem like a 19 th Century idea, the Grain de Sail may be a herald of a greener future rather than a nostalgic nod to the past. After agreeing to a very weak short-term measure in November 2020, the discussions last week focused on new measures that could take effect by 2030.

To ensure the wind industry upholds environmental justice and stewards its raw materials, many companies are replacing balsa with other materials. For example, LM Wind Power has minimized balsa in its blades, substituting in synthetic plastic PET and PVC foams. The company aims to make all its blades fully recyclable by 2030.

Bruno Le Maire outlined the French government’s strategy for deploying 45 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind power by 2050. The minister pointed out that with three offshore wind farms already connected, the country is on track to reach 4 GW by 2030, and to reach 18 GW by 2035. This is to rise to 300 GW by 2050.

The revised 2030 energy and climate plan, unveiled by the government, targets the expansion of wind and solar power. The Mediterranean country aims for renewables to account for an 82% share of electricity production by 2030. The previous plan released in 2019 had set out only a 66% share.

Ontario has a large potential supply of wind and solar energy that could be developed to help phase-out dirty gas plants. The Independent Electricity System Operator recently produced a theoretical plan for phasing out gas plants by 2030. Between 2009 and 2016, Ontario built over 2000 MW of solar power and about 3000 MW of wind power.
