The Welding Institute’s Offshore Energy (TG4) Technical Group will be hosting their upcoming online Technical Group, ‘Sustainability and Carbon Footprint of Large Offshore Infrastructure Projects,’ from 10:00am – 12:00pm (UK time) on 28 January, 2025.
What Will You Learn?
As renewable energy is generated without carbon emissions, the carbon footprint associated with materials, fabrication, installation, operation and decommissioning will be offset during the lifetime of offshore wind farms.
There is currently a great focus on maximising product circularity (recycle, re-use, re-purpose) and quantifying and minimising the carbon footprint of large offshore infrastructure projects such as wind farms.
Who Should Attend?
The event should be of interest to anyone involved in the design, supply, fabrication and operation of offshore assets, with an emphasis on wind farms, e.g. to steel makers, fabricators, designers, wind farm developers and anyone interested in the environmental impact of large offshore infrastructure projects.
Speakers and Presentations:
- ir. Lieven Bracke, Decarbonisation – Business Integration Team, ArcelorMittal - Pathway to Decarbonised Steelmaking in ArcelorMittal Flat Europe
- Dr James Lightfoot, Emerging Technology Manager, SSE Renewables - Wind Turbine Blades: Sustainable Lifecycle Management
