From

0
Sperra's Torpedo Anchors are designed to meet the growing demands of offshore clean energy projects, especially in deeper waters where wind energy potential is highest. These anchors utilize advanced 3D printing manufacturing techniques to offer a more efficient and cost-effective solution compared to traditional methods. The anchors significantly decrease the overall cost of floating offshore wind projects by up to 3% through the use of local materials and automation, minimizing the impact of steel price fluctuations. An impressive 96% reduction in carbon emissions associated with anchoring is achieved, appealing to sustainable construction needs. Sperra Torpedo Anchors also promote local economic growth by involving disadvantaged communities in their manufacturing process, creating jobs and fostering a low-carbon industry. With funding support from the US Department of Energy, Sperra is optimizing its technology to make offshore wind energy more competitive and sustainable.

Unlocking the Potential of Offshore Clean Energy

Offshore clean energy projects will play a key role in achieving our carbon reduction goals, both nationally and globally. But constructing these projects in deeper waters – where the greatest wind potential exists — will require more efficient, less costly anchoring mechanisms.

Sperra Torpedo Anchors combine speed, efficiency and cutting-edge 3D printing manufacturing techniques to enhance the competitiveness of floating offshore wind in deeper waters, while reducing embodied carbon. 

 

Key Advantages of Sperra Torpedo Anchors

Reduced Cost

Anchoring offshore clean energy projects currently consumes approximately 15% of total capital project cost. Steel, the traditional material used, can be subject to significant price fluctuations and supply chain risks. Sperra Torpedo Anchors reduce the overall cost of floating offshore wind, for example, by up to 3% using local materials and automated construction.

Lower Carbon Emissions

Our torpedo anchors cut CO2 emissions for floating offshore wind anchoring up to 96%, an impact often overlooked by traditional project metrics.

Domestic Supply Chain and Local Manufacturing

Sperra’s anchors generate economic benefits for disadvantaged and low-income communities by hiring local labor and introducing a sustainable, low-carbon industry.
