"Aarhus, 07 June 2023
Today, Ørsted and Vestas, global leaders in renewable energy, are announcing a
commercial sustainability partnership. Ørsted will procure low-carbon steel
wind turbine towers and blades made from recycled materials from Vestas in all
joint offshore wind projects.
The deployment of offshore wind is crucial to enhancing energy security,
advancing affordable energy for all, and not least curbing the climate crisis.
Today, wind produces energy with a 99 % lower carbon footprint than coal, but
on the scientific path to net-zero, we must limit the carbon that the
manufacturing of materials and components used in wind farms emits. This is
also becoming increasingly demanded by consumers of renewable energy and
policymakers.
Meeting this need requires cost-efficient solutions to address the most
critical decarbonisation and circularity challenges in the wind industry,
namely steel and blades. To address these challenges, Ørsted and Vestas will
install low-carbon steel towers and, when commercially available, blades made
from recycled materials at all future joint offshore wind farms.
By committing to integrate sustainable procurement not just as a one-off but in
all future offshore projects between the two companies, Ørsted is creating
ongoing demand for Vestas’ innovative low-carbon and circular solutions."
