France: Holcim has taken a minority equity stake in BW Ideol as part of a strategic partnership to scale up clean energy infrastructure for floating offshore wind. Under the agreement, the two companies will collaborate on the supply of construction materials to two fabrication lines for floating wind foundations being developed by BW Ideol in southern France and northeast Scotland. Holcim will contribute its low-carbon structural concrete, which it says is ‘ideal’ for offshore wind applications and produced under a local-for-local approach.

Holcim has previously supplied foundations for onshore wind projects in Australia, Croatia, Denmark, Poland, Spain and the UK, as well as offshore wind foundations along France’s northern coastline.
