Summary

Description
English: Area chart showing power generation capacity of offshore windfarms (incl. floating windfarms), compared to new land+offshore capacity that the International Energy Agency said would be needed annually from 2030-2050 to meet "Net Zero by 2050"
  • Suggested caption: Offshore windfarms, including floating windfarms, provide a small but growing fraction of total windfarm power generation. Such power generation capacity must grow substantially to help meet the IEA's Net Zero by 2050 pathway.
Archive thereof: https://web.archive.org/web/20210830162300/https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/aug/29/floating-wind-turbines-ocean-renewable-power
  • Data from the source:
> Total offshore capacity as of 2021: 32,000 MW
> New offshore capacity added in 2020: 6,000 MW
> Total floating capacity in 2021: 80 MW
> Aberdeen floating windfarm: 30 MW
> IEA annual projection to meet Net Zero by 2050: 390,000
The square roots of these numbers (178.88, 77.45, 8.94, 5.47, and 624.50, respectively) are what are literally used as circle radii in the SVG code.
