VIABILIDADE DA CAPTAÇÃO DE ENERGIA EÓLICA NOS OCEANOS (OFFSHORE) X (ENERGIA ONSHORE)

Abstract

The environmental issue today requires special attention from all of us, due to the profound impacts caused to the environment, as a result of the various human activities. The search for alternative forms of energy, whose impact on the environment is minimal, is an example of a measure that corroborates this requirement. This work aims to focus on one of these alternative forms of energy, showing the feasibility of capturing wind energy in the oceans or offshore abstraction, which produces a low impact on the environment, has a great capacity for generating energy and has been used successfully in some countries. The characteristics of an offshore system, the factors to be considered for its installation, its advantages and the costs involved in its implementation will also be analyzed. prospects for offshore abstraction.
