Hyundai Steel Obtains 'Renewable Energy Factory Certification'

Hyundai Steel has been recognized for its global competitiveness in the offshore wind power sector, which is considered a next-generation renewable energy source.

Hyundai Steel announced on the 30th that its Ulsan Plant 2, a specialized production facility for steel pipes and line pipes used in offshore wind power, recently obtained the 'Renewable Energy Offshore Wind Power Plant Certification' from DNV, the world's largest energy sector certification body based in Norway.

Hyundai Steel explained that the certification acquisition by Ulsan Plant 2 is highly significant as it is the only achievement among existing domestic steel pipe manufacturers.

With this certification, Hyundai Steel now meets the basic requirements for suitability certification for offshore wind power projects both domestically and internationally, which is expected to greatly aid in securing related project orders in the future.

Hyundai Steel supplies various energy-related steel pipe products, including high-strength thick-walled steel pipes for the lower structures of offshore wind turbines, tailored to customer demands and market trends.

Based on this, Hyundai Steel supplied steel pipes for the lower structures of the Jeju Hallim Offshore Wind Power Complex, the largest offshore wind farm in Korea, and completed the supply of large-diameter 690 MPa grade steel pipes for Hyundai Steel Industry's offshore wind power dedicated installation vessel, the Hyundai Frontier. Additionally, it has consecutively secured large project orders, such as supplying lower structure steel pipes for the Taiwan TPC offshore wind power project.

A Hyundai Steel official stated, "By obtaining DNV certification and executing domestic and international projects, we will expand partnerships with global clients by supplying reliable products."
