Floating offshore wind energy technology is relatively new, with the first commercial floating offshore wind project in the world...

One of the potential environmental impacts of the Humboldt Bay Offshore Wind Multipurpose Heavy Lift Terminal is increased air pollution. Traditional port operations, that rely on fossil fuels, emit both CO2 as well as criteria pollutants such as NOx, SOx, and Particulate Matter which can impact nearby communities (1). Humboldt currently has some of the cleanest air in the State (2).
