In addition, RWE is piloting CO2-reduced steel towers at half of the project’s turbines. The GreenerTowers from Siemens Gamesa are expected to ensure a CO2 reduction of at least 63 per cent in the tower steel plates compared to conventional steel, RWE said.

”At RWE we are fully committed to working towards circularity and net-zero emissions. We are already testing the world’s first recyclable wind turbine blades under real-life conditions at our German offshore wind farm Kaskasi and we have decided to install them at Sofia,” Sven Utermöhlen , CEO of RWE Offshore Wind, said.
