Ørsted: Fra vind til ventetid – hvad skete der lige her?

e-methanol - FlagshipONE - forsinkelser i projekter - grøn energi - Mads Nipper - offshore vindprojekter - vindkraft - Ørsted

Ørsted har droppet sit frontløberprojekt for e-brændstoffer og udskyder samtidig store offshore projekter. Læs hvordan den danske vindmagsgigant klarer skærene!

Ørsted, den danske vindmøllejæger, har haft en opsigtsvækkende uge, hvor den har aflyst sit ambitiøse FlagshipONE-projekt, der skulle producere hele 55.000 ton e-methanol om året. Dette projekt var planlagt til at anvende brint kombineret med kuldioxid, men virksomheden har indgået i en bølge af forhindringer, der viser, at forretningsmodellen eksploderede hurtigere end en ghostbuster i en spøgelseshus. Det er ikke bare et lille tilbageslag; dette markerer en større udfordring for Ørsted i deres bestræbelser på at blive den grønne superhelt, de stræber efter.

Men vent, der er mere! Den danske energijæger har også været tvunget til at udskyde sit mega offshore projekt Revolution Wind, som skulle strække sig langs Rhode Islands kyst. Denne forsinkelse skyldes problemer med konstruktionen og de nødvendige elektricitetsstationer. Det er som at forsøge at samle IKEA-møbler uden manual - meget frustrerende!

Derudover har Ørsted set en skarp nedgang i deres aktier efter offentliggørelsen af deres seneste regnskaber, som viste betydelige afskrivninger og tilbageslag i flere nøgleprojekter. Virksomheden estimater for investering er blevet revideret nedad, og det lader til, at timing er altafgørende, selv for et selskab, der lever af vind og sol. Det ser ud til, at de må finde en ny rute for at navigere gennem denne storm af udfordringer.

På den positive side, på trods af disse udfordringer, rapporterer Ørsted om stærk præstation i offshore vind-segmentet, hvilket har givet anledning til en økonomisk stigning i første halvdel af året. Det er som et lys i en tunellignende mørke af afrapporterede udfordringer. Vidste du forresten, at Ørsted er verdens største udbyder af offshore vindenergi med projekter, der spænder over flere kontinenter? Og hvis du troede, at e-methanol kun var noget, man kunne drømme om, så skal du vide, at det faktisk er blevet kaldt en gamechanger for maritim transport!
