Which is greener, the helicopter or hybrid vessels? - PES - Power & Energy Solution

During a 12-hour trip to a wind farm 40 nautical miles offshore, a hybrid CTV will emit 41% less CO2 compared to a conventional CTV. If a helicopter were used for the transport, CO2 could be reduced by 73%. For Europe, that is a saving of 67,000 to 117,000 ton of CO2 per year, or between 8 to 14 million saved in carbon tax if the tax was the same rate as in Sweden. PES sat down with DECK1 CEO Jim Hededal Nielsen to do some number crunching.
