TOKYO – Ideol and Taisei Corp. have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for the joint development and promotion in Japan of concrete foundations for floating offshore wind using Ideol’s patented Damping Pool technology.
According to the companies, the potential of floating offshore wind is three times larger than for bottom-fixed offshore wind farms in Japan. Therefore, floating offshore wind is a promising market where the use of concrete will enable Ideol and Taisei to further reduce the cost of floating foundations.
Through this MoU, the companies intend to cooperate to proactively develop concrete floating offshore wind foundations in Japan and contribute to the acceleration as well as the growth of the domestic floating offshore wind market.
