ABS will support two key areas of the project: emissions reduction for the Port of Rio Grande and preliminary decommissioning strategy for JB Energy’s Raijin Float platform, a concrete-based, semi-submersible floating wind foundation. “Floating offshore wind development depends on strong regional infrastructure and clear life-cycle planning from the outset. Through this collaboration with JB Energy, ABS will support studies that advance safe, sustainable and economically viable offshore wind development in Brazil,” said Rob Langford, ABS Vice President, Global Offshore Markets. “One of the most sustainable offshore wind structures is the one whose entire lifecycle has been considered from day one. Together with ABS, we are integrating port decarbonization, lifecycle thinking, and innovative decommissioning strategies into the Aura Sul Wind Project from its earliest stages. This collaboration will help establish new benchmarks for the sustainable development of floating offshore wind, not only in Brazil but for future projects worldwide,” said Rodolfo Gonçalves, JB Energy, CEO.  The studies will address emissions reduction for the Port of Rio Grande, including electrification, renewable integration, low-carbon logistics, clean fuel opportunities and related infrastructure. They will also examine removal concepts, towing and transport, dismantling, port logistics, environmental and safety considerations, and recycling and reuse opportunities for the concrete-based Raijin Float platform. ABS is a trusted partner for offshore wind stakeholders, delivering advisory and technical review solutions that help minimize risk and enhance safety for offshore wind projects.
