Acciaierie d'Italia and the partnership between Falck Renewables and BlueFloat Energy have signed a letter of intent and set up a technical table for a strategic collaboration linked to the development of renewable energy projects.

The technical table is focusing on four potential development trajectories: the Taranto company will be able to supply steel and other materials for the construction of floating marine platforms for the marine wind farms developed by the joint partnership between Falck Renewables and BlueFloat Energy. In turn, these plants will offer Acciaierie d'Italia the supply of renewable energy and green hydrogen.

Furthermore, Falck Renewables will be able to support Acciaierie d'Italia in the construction of photovoltaic systems on land and buildings available to the company inside and outside the plant for the production of renewable electricity.

Lastly, the companies intend to set up a consortium involving specialized companies, polytechnics and research centers to promote the greatest possible use of renewable energies for energy-intensive companies and for the technological development of an industrial chain for the production, in Puglia, of components for marine wind technology.

The agreement is part of the strategic partnerships entered into by Acciaierie d'Italia with large companies of excellence to carry out the energy and environmental transition of the Taranto plant. The reduction in consumption from traditional sources will in fact contribute to the company's greater sustainability in terms of energy.
