RWE is at the forefront of innovation in offshore wind
Recyclable blades
We are testing the
world’s first recyclable
wind turbine blade from
Siemens Gamesa
Vibratory pile driving
We are investigating new
installation techniques
for offshore foundations
to reduce noise
emissions
Offshore hydrogen
We are driving the offshore hydrogen transition,
with our ambition to enable offshore production
of hydrogen and development projects in
Germany and the Netherlands to date. For
example, as core member of AquaVentus and our
projects AquaPrimus and AquaSector as well as
H2OpZee in the Netherlands.
Our offshore innovation projects
support our sustainability strategy …
… and go beyond conventional applications
