Energy transition facility underway

摘要

Work has begun on Europe's first fully circular energy transition facility located in Ardersier Port, Scotland.The project will repurpose disused oil rigs to make floating offshore wind farm foundations, as well as establishing a €350 million 'green steel' mill and a concrete production plant - these will be powered using resources from the facility. The site marks the UK's largest brownfield port at over 162 hectares and with more than a kilometre of quayside. Under the project's first phase, 2.5 million m~3 of sand will be dredged from the site in a nine month operation costing €23.5 million, with the collected sand then used as aggregate in the concrete production plant.
