In Denmark, Vestas said it will pilot SAF at the Baltic Eagle Wind Farm in the Baltic Sea during 2024.
The pilot project entails Vestas technicians and jack-up vessel crew using helicopters partly powered by SAF to transport themselves to and from the Baltic Eagle wind farm during the construction phase of 50 offshore wind turbines.
The pilot project is scheduled to take place until September 2024. Helicopter service provider HeliService, will use helicopters from Leonardo flying on approximately 40% SAF provided by DCC & Shell Aviation Denmark.
Kieran Walsh, Senior Vice President and Head of Construction at Vestas Northern & Central Europe, said: “There is a significant need for more sustainable solutions during these wind farms’ construction and operation phases. The potential for using SAF in offshore operations is high and we are pleased to further exploit this potential.”
