One, if not the greatest, challenges humanity and our planet faces nowadays is climate change. The use and extraction of fossil fuels, or in other words conventional energy sources, have taken a toll on earth. Renewable energy sources seem to be an invaluable tool in the ongoing battle to mitigate climate change and create a sustainable future for all. Focusing on wind and especially offshore wind power, a relatively new and rapidly growing renewable source, this study aims in exploring offshore wind power trends in Europe, China, Greece and other active regions (e.g., the United States of America, Vietnam, South Korea, Japan and Taiwan). A combination of comparative analysis and case study approach forms the methodological framework used. Results show that each region shows a rapid offshore interest and growth. The extent of the aforementioned growth though, differs between regions and depends on various factors such as economic and technological growth but also on the geopolitical role renewable energy begins to play in the global agenda. Even though all regions recognize the significance of offshore wind and energy transition in general there is still a long way to go.
