Poland ranked 20th in the Blue Technology Barometer ranking
18:36
MIT Technology Review Insights conducted a global research initiative to examine where and how “blue technologies” are being engaged to further efforts to clean up the oceans, reduce sea-related carbon emissions, and make maritime economic activities more economically and environmentally viable. These activities and assets have been quantified and ranked for 66 countries and territories with large or economically significant ocean coastlines.
Poland was ranked 20th in this Blue Technology Barometer ranking with a mediocre 5.4 points. The lowest score was given to our country in policy and regulations, as well as marine activity.
The top 10 scorers in the barometer – the “blue technology leaders” – are all advanced economies and, with the important exception of South Korea, are all Western economies. At 7.83, the United Kingdom ranks first, in large part because of its blue technology ecosystem and its leadership position in offshore renewable energy facilities, which includes the world’s largest offshore wind farm. Germany follows closely, at 7.54, and the third is Denmark with 7.4.
