Ørsted has signed an MoU with Dillinger for first offer rights in procuring Dillinger’s lower-emission heavy-plate steel for offshore wind foundations.
The steel plates are meant to be part of offshore monopile foundations. The company says the reduction of the process-related carbon emissions from its production method is expected to be up to 60% less than conventional heavy-plate steel production.
“We’d like to thank Ørsted for placing confidence in our expertise and the high quality of our steel,” says Danny van der Hout, CCO at Dillinger. “The Dillinger team is proud to contribute to the further expansion of renewable energy with its innovative products.”
Ørsted expects to be able to procure lower-emission steel produced at Dillinger’s plant in Dillingen, Germany by 2028.
