The Joule Challenge Phase 2 project has been established to create a detailed roadmap for incorporating radically new composite-based components in the next generation of offshore wind turbines.
The Project is funded by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) through its Net Zero Innovation Portfolio (NZIP) and delivered by a collaboration of two Catapult centres: ORE Catapult and the National Composites Centre (NCC) (part of the High Value Manufacturing (HVM) Catapult).
After a successful Phase 1 completed in 2020, which established the importance of composite materials in enabling the next generation of offshore wind turbines, Phase 2 aims for focus on developing concept components utilising high-value design and manufacture (HVDM) expertise to capitalise on existing UK capabilities.
In order to develop a more focused understanding of our UK supply chain capabilities & appetite for growth we would like to invite you to join us for a focused deep dive on a number of our component workstreams.
