The Celtic Sea is set to play a critical role in the UK's hopes of making good on its net zero ambitions.
Under plans being developed by the Government, the Crown Estate and industry, the region could in future be home to a flotilla of floating offshore wind platforms that provide the country with significant and sustainable sources of clean energy.
In recent weeks, the potential capacity of those platforms has been increased from 4GW to 4.5GW, with more information about the leasing round for the area due by the end of 2023.
However a new short film - A Journey to the Bottom of the Celtic Sea - highlights that advances in renewable technologies, like those being pioneered by researchers in the Centre for Decarbonisation and Offshore Renewable Energy, are not the only scientific challenge that needs to be addressed if such visions are to become a reality.
