Abstract
This report identifies and discusses opportunities and challenges for offshore wind energy development in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM). The results indicate that offshore wind energy has the potential to be a viable clean energy option to help the region meet the U.S. goals to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. Many technical challenges are discussed but most can be resolved with engineering solutions that are available to the industry.
