In The Netherlands, Offshore Energy reported that Denmark-based NKT has certified its cable-laying vessel (CLV) NKT Victoria to use biofuels such as hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) as part of its decarbonization goals.
NKT reported that the certification allows the reduction of carbon footprint from the vessel’s fuel consumption by more than 98%.
According to the Danish company, this HVO certification represents an important step towards achieving the SBTi-approved target of reducing scope 1 and 2 by 90% in 2030 compared to 2019.
Claes Westerlind, President and CEO of NKT, said: “This will lead to significant reductions in the carbon emission from our offshore operations and is a key element in our reaching science-based decarbonization targets. Operating on biofuel also allows us to continue to meet our customer’s increasing expectations for low-carbon operations.”
