Ørsted has set new 2030 climate targets, approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), to drive progress toward its 2040 net-zero goal.
These targets cover the full value chain (scope 1-3) and align with the 1.5°C pathway.
Having already reduced direct emissions by 98% from 2006 to 2025, Ørsted now focuses on decarbonising its supply chain.
The company is working with partners to cut emissions from the manufacturing, installation, and operations of renewable energy assets as it continues leading the green energy transition.
Ingrid Reumert, SVP, Global Stakeholder Relations said: “While our targets set the direction for our decarbonisation efforts, it’s the actions that really count.
“In 2024, we partnered with Dillinger on getting first access to their lower emission steel, we took a big step together with Siemens Gamesa on blade circularity by using recycled glass fibres for the turbines at our Greater Changhua Offshore Wind Farm – and we closed our last coal-fired plant – saving the atmosphere from approx. 1.2 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions yearly.”
