Renewable Parts remanufacturing agreement with Orsted
Initially focussed on
Ørsted’s UK operations, Renewable Parts will work with Ørsted to increase
the volume of parts reused within offshore operations, developing technology
that increases sustainability and reduces carbon footprint of the supply
chain.
This
agreement further strengthens Renewable Parts’ on-going investment in
circular economy technology for the wind industry, bringing new jobs and
skills to its remanufacturing base in Lochgilphead on the west coast of
Scotland.
With
13 operational offshore wind farms in UK waters, Ørsted’s current installed
capacity in the UK is 6.2GW – including the current world’s largest Hornsea
2, which is capable of powering more than 1.4 million homes.
James
Barry, Chief Executive of Renewable Parts, commented: “Ørsted is respected
as one of the world’s most sustainable companies, and we are delighted
they have selected Renewable Parts as a partner to increase parts reuse
within their supply chain. The scale of Ørsted’s operation will allow
greater investment in the development of remanufacture solutions that reduce
waste and carbon footprint. Achieving Net-Zero is a commitment for all
organisations and wind power is one of the greenest energy sources to achieving
that goal. However, it’s vital we ensure our supply chain is as
green as the energy it supports.”
Marc
Adams, Senior Supply Chain Development Manager at Ørsted, said: “This
collaborative agreement with Renewable Parts further strengthens our relationship
with the UK supply chain and highlights the wider value the offshore wind
sector brings to the economy. As we transition to a cleaner energy system,
we must ensure that projects are delivered as sustainably as possible –
including across our supply chain. There is no better place to utilise
parts refurbishment services than the market where we have our most operational
assets."
