Germany’s offshore wind push becomes an industrial sovereignty test
Germany is considering state support for the domestic construction of offshore wind converter platforms, a move that reflects a broader effort to rebuild industrial capacity in a sector where Europe has become heavily exposed to Chinese suppliers.
Economy Minister Katherina Reiche has said the government is examining whether to back production of these platforms, which are essential pieces of offshore wind infrastructure because they collect electricity generated at sea and convert it for transmission into the onshore power grid. The proposal signals that Berlin increasingly sees renewable-energy equipment not only as a climate-policy issue, but also as a matter of industrial sovereignty, infrastructure security and strategic competition.

Australia’s carbon refinery tests a new industrial climate model
Australia’s first carbon refinery has opened in New South Wales, marking an early attempt to turn carbon capture from a defensive climate tool into an industrial process that can create usable materials. The facility, developed by MCI Carbon on Kooragang Island, captures carbon dioxide from Orica’s ammonia operations and converts it into products that can be used in sectors such as concrete, paper and glass.
The demonstration plant is modest in scale, with potential capture capacity of about 2,500 metric tons of CO2 a year, but its significance lies less in its immediate emissions impact than in the industrial model it is trying to prove. The technology is based on mineral carbonation, a process that imitates the natural way the Earth locks carbon into rock.

France’s offshore wind bet races its own election
France will open on Friday the tender the wind industry has been awaiting since 2024: ten gigawatts of offshore capacity, the largest single offshore procurement ever launched in the country and one of the largest in Europe’s history. Behind the headline number lies a triple wager.
The government is betting that an industry battered globally by cost inflation and political hostility can deliver at scale, that floating turbine technology is ready to leave its experimental phase, and, most precariously, that the contracts can be locked in before an April presidential election in which the leading party wants the whole program stopped.
