We can trigger a wave of green economic growth that sweeps across England, Scotland and Wales by becoming a world leader in floating offshore wind. Find out how in this piece by Andy Reay, our Head of Offshore Wind: https://lnkd.in/gjykYVsw   The race to net zero is creating an increasingly competitive global arena, where countries across all continents seek to attract the attention of global investors. Winning the finances required to develop the renewable energy projects needed to reduce carbon emissions makes a big difference. If we look at some global forecasts, floating offshore wind is essential for us to be able to deliver the net zero transition.   Port Talbot presents an interesting case study because it is able to offer a holistic package to the FOW sector, combining natural physical features, the space to develop the right infrastructure and access to skilled labour. As part of its #ReadyforTomorrow sustainability strategy, ABP is planning to invest around £500 million to develop new and repurposed infrastructure in Port Talbot to enable the port to host manufacturing, installation, and supply chain activity for the FOW sector. This has the potential to create 16,000 new, high-quality jobs and attract £5.5 billion inward investment in the wider regional economy.   Earlier this month we were proud to announce that ABP will be part of a cluster of ports in and around the Cromarty Firth, which all are adding different elements of value to the offshore wind supply chain. We want to create an asset which works in harmony with existing port infrastructure and we will use the knowledge we've gained in our experience and our track record of Green Port Hull and Port Talbot to investigate the potential of creating new port infrastructure on the site.   But to enable these ambitions UK Government needs to stand right behind us and this means a couple of things:   1. Providing greater confidence to stimulate investment and demand through: (a) certainty on the seabed leasing scale and timeline and (b) learning the lessons from AR5 about reflecting real world costs.   2. Stimulating UK supply chain development through: (a) targeted and marginal co-investment support for scale infrastructure development and (b) rewarding genuine UK commitment through CfD reform   3. Consenting at pace and with priority   We will be attending the RenewableUK Global Offshore Wind Awards tomorrow. Please do find Andy if you'd like to discuss his article or floating offshore wind opportunities at ABP in greater detail.   #RUKAwards #FloatingOffshoreWind #AlternativeEnergy Crown Estate Scotland The Crown Estate Department for Business and Trade Department for Energy Security and Net Zero reNEWS - Renewable Energy News Financial Times #FOW #PortTalbot #NetZero #LevellingUp #GreenJobs #GreenEconomy  

Pioneering Green Shipping: UK-Ireland Corridor to Reduce Emissions 🚢 UK port operator Peel Ports Group and NatPower Marine have announced an exciting initiative to establish the UK's first green shipping corridor between the UK and Ireland. This groundbreaking project will see the development of a commercial electric ship (e-ship) charging network across eight ports operated by Peel Ports Group, with an estimated investment of £100 million. Sustainability Goals: The project aims to reduce emissions from maritime transport by supporting electric propulsion and cold ironing, enhancing sustainable port operations in the region. Strategic Impact: This corridor will set a new standard for green maritime transport, promoting cleaner energy usage and reducing the carbon footprint of shipping activities.

The Port of Antwerp-Bruges continues to be lauded for its commitment to sustainable energy practices, securing the prestigious ISO 50001 certification for the fourth consecutive time. This recognition reaffirms the Port Authority’s unwavering dedication to environmentally conscious operations. Notably, this certification now extends to include Zeebrugge, marking a significant milestone following the merger just two years prior. Since 2011, the Port Authority has sourced all electricity for its buildings, locks, bridges, and inland navigation ships from renewable energy sources. Furthermore, the hybrid patrol vessels and a portion of the tugboat fleet run on renewable fuels, with plans underway to introduce the first electric tugboat soon. The Port Authority’s proactive approach to electrifying its vehicle fleet and promoting energy neutrality in its infrastructure has yielded substantial savings over the past decade. #bunkering #bunkermarket #energy #shipping #maritime #shipowners #decarbonization #energytransition #oilandgas #ports #marinefuels #belgium #portofantwerp #zeebrugge #energypolicy #iso50001 https://lnkd.in/dUCaPdCQ

Standard Chartered leads financing for Abu Dhabi’s first waste-to-energy plant ◾ Standard Chartered announced today the successful financing for Abu Dhabi’s Waste-to-Energy Project, marking Abu Dhabi’s first venture into large-scale waste-to-energy conversion. ◾ This significant project is being procured jointly by Tadweer Group and Emirates Water and Electricity Company (EWEC) and will be developed as a collaboration between Tadweer Group and an international consortium comprising of Marubeni, Hitachi Zosen Inova (HZI) and Japan Overseas Investment Corporation for Transport & Urban Development (JOIN). ◾ The Waste-to-Energy Project will be constructed as a multiline facility with the capability to treat 2,700 tons of municipal solid waste per day, equivalent to 900,000 tons per annum. ◾ This project aligns with the UAE’s broader environmental objectives by reducing landfill usage and promoting renewable energy. The project is integral towards helping divert 80% of waste in Abu Dhabi from landfills by 2030 and to showcase the value of waste as an energy source to reduce environmental pollution. Net emissions of up to 1 million tons of CO2 per year are envisaged to be saved by the project. ◾ The financing for the Waste-to-Energy Project was met with overwhelming interest, being significantly oversubscribed. This high level of interest reflects the strong confidence in the project's viability and its alignment with global sustainability goals. The oversubscription allowed for a diverse mix of lenders, enhancing the financial robustness and credibility of the project.
