As we look to our net zero future, it is clear we will need the support of a wide variety of ‘green’ careers, from planning and delivering a programme of works that will dramatically improve the energy efficiency of our properties; to working with technology such as AI and Internet of Things to transform our operational processes. With COP26 approaching, this is the perfect time to plan for a greener future.

Ørsted

https://orsted.co.uk/

Ørsted’s vision is a world that runs entirely on green energy. We develop, construct and operate offshore and onshore wind farms, solar farms and energy storage facilities, bioenergy plants and provide energy products to our customers. A decade ago, we initiated our transformation from a black to a green energy company as DONG Energy. Since then, we’ve reduced our coal consumption by 91% and decided to fully phase out coal in 2023. We’ve become a global leader in offshore wind and have installed enough capacity to power more than 19 million people. Our ambition is to raise this number to 30 million by 2025. By 2030, our ambition is to have installed approx. 50 GW of renewable energy capacity. In 2017, we divested our upstream oil and gas business, thereby completing our transformation to become fully dedicated to green energy. Our transformation means that we’ve become too green for our name. DONG, originally short for Danish Oil and Natural Gas, is no longer an accurate description of who we are, or who we want to be. So now we’re Ørsted. Learn more about our history as DONG Energy on linkedin.com/DONGEnergy
