Getting GB electricity market design rightThe UK is at a critical point on its journey to net-zero. The green energy transition is happening – the challenge now is creating an electricity system that supports it. In this paper, we set out in clear terms the challenges faced by the current electricity system and the three associated changes needed to support the move to a greener future energy system. |

Uniting action on climate and biodiversityThere is a new and necessary north star for renewable energy: to be a force for good on both climate and biodiversity. Ørsted is doing our part to deliver on this through our net-positive biodiversity ambition. Only if others act with us can we together deliver what is needed for people and planet. This paper sets out in clear terms why it is essential we consider biodiversity in the build-out of renewable energy, and what steps we believe are needed to ensure we get this right. |

The Power of American Green HydrogenThe Power-to-X (P2X) industry has a solution to offer: green hydrogen. This zero-emissions energy – and the e-fuels derived from it – can sustainably replace the need for fossil fuels across sectors. Backed by new legislation, the US now has an opportunity to scale up green hydrogen production, becoming a global powerhouse in P2X. |

Let’s open the path to progressEurope’s commitment to reach net zero by 2050 is as firm as ever. On top of decarbonisation, reaching this target will unlock the additional benefits, reduction in cost of electricity and reduced dependence on external sources of power – and governments, policy makers, and industry are working to deliver. Find out what this entails. |

Need for SpeedEurope's energy crisis and the latest alarming report by the IPCC all point towards the same solution: we need to significantly increase renewable energy and decrease our dependence on polluting fossil fuels for energy. Our latest white paper proposes a new approach towards the deployment of offshore wind and renewable power-to-X – from planning processes to integration – to ensure the buildout is both speedy and sustainable. |

Our Green Business TransformationØrsted, now the world’s most sustainable energy company, used to be one of Europe’s most fossil fuel intensive. Since we decided to transform to a green business, financial performance has significantly improved, whilst to 2020 we have reduced our carbon emissions by 86%. Our transition has been quicker than many, and even ourselves, thought possible. This paper first describes our transformation and then offers our suggested learnings about how to execute such a green business transformation, so that our journey may inspire yours. |
