Japan has launched a prototype offshore wind turbine wall in its economic zone, developed by Kyushu University's RECOW, which features small turbines arranged in a grid to enhance energy output and reduce costs. Initial trials indicate that this innovative design could generate three times the energy of traditional shoreline units, with the potential for offshore areas to produce up to 1,600 gigawatts if fully developed. Collaborative efforts among government, academia, and industry aim to overcome technical challenges and expedite the deployment of offshore wind projects.
