The primary objectives of phase 2 (2025-2026) are:

Measurement: To incorporate the feedback from an Expert Working Group and developer partners into a revised PCF methodology.  

Data: To harmonise carbon calculation methodologies across offshore wind assets and promote the provision of supplier-specific data.

Decarbonisation: To investigate the various mechanisms available to incentivise the use of green steel in the offshore wind industry and associated deployment barriers. 
 

Workstream 1: Measurement

To refine the offshore wind industry product carbon footprint methodology to align with the latest industry best practices and developments. 
 

Workstream 2: Data    

To improve carbon emission data and monitoring practices by addressing common challenges with developers and suppliers in data gathering. A supplier guidance annex will be added to the carbon footprint methodology.
 

Workstream 3: Decarbonisation

Develop a green steel action plan to support offshore wind decarbonisation efforts. This will be supported by leveraging open industry dialogue, conducting economic analysis and engaging key stakeholders.
