Smarter tools for sustainable offshore wind
SUSTAINOW develops open-access tools that make it easier for planners, policymakers, and developers in Europe to design and manage offshore wind farms sustainably from start to finish.
By improving how marine data is shared and used across countries and sectors, the team aims to strengthen our understanding of how offshore energy affects the environment, society, and coastal communities.
The result: offshore wind projects that are better designed for people, nature, and energy networks.
Cross-border marine data platform
A shared marine data space to improve access and interoperability of environmental, social, and technical data across countries.
Evidence-based
siting tool
Helps identify the most sustainable and technically suitable locations for offshore wind farms.
Project design
tool
Supports holistic planning by assessing environmental, social, and economic impacts across the entire life cycle.
Open access tools to improve how marine data is shared
Our European team of experts come together to make offshore wind planning more user-friendly and sustainable.
How? By improving how marine data is shared between stakeholders and by integrating environmental, social, and economic assessments through a suite of open access tools.
Turning fragmented data into better decisions
Offshore wind is expanding rapidly across Europe, but planning and decision-making are still held back by fragmented data and limited understanding of environmental and social impacts.
SUSTAINOW’s tools give authorities, developers, and communities the means to make better-informed decisions, ensuring offshore wind expansion aligns with sustainability goals and benefits both people and nature.
