NKT Uses Low-Carbon Copper For High-Voltage DC Cables
Cable manufacturer NKT, its suppliers, and customers have agreed to use low-carbon copper for a 320 kV HVDC cable that NKT is supplying to Dogger Bank C in the North Sea, which is being developed by SSE Renewables, Equinor, and Eni Plenitude.
The use of low-carbon copper will reduce the carbon footprint of the high-voltage power cable system by more than 23,000 tonnes of CO2 equivalent, which is equivalent to the emissions of 7,700 average household cars in one year.
