Belgium sank 23 concrete blocks weighing 22,000 tons each in the North Sea to build the world's first artificial energy island in a €7B project
- Forty-five kilometres off the Belgian coast, in the middle of the North Sea, humans are creating something that did not naturally exist in the water.
- It is the world's first artificial energy island the size of eight football fields, being built with 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing approximately 22,000 tons.
- While one might assume that the island would house humans or grow a wildlife sanctuary, its purpose is none of these.
