Industry launches new guidance for measuring the carbon footprint of offshore wind farms

Stuart Mitchell

A first-of-a-kind methodology to standardise how the carbon footprint of an offshore wind farm is measured has been published by the Offshore Wind Sustainability Joint Industry Programme (SUS JIP). The collaborative initiative aims to help the global offshore wind industry scale up as sustainably as possible to meet global Net Zero targets by 2050. This new methodology is a key first step in the delivery of commitments made by many offshore wind developers to reduce emissions and will improve the transparency of carbon emission data increasingly required by regulatory bodies.…

Robotic welding matches and can outperform manual construction and cut carbon emissions

Stuart Mitchell

Improved fatigue performance, through standardised high-quality welding conducted by robots, could enable offshore wind jacket foundations to last longer or potentially to use less steel, thus having the potential to reduce the weight and cost of the structures. The analysis, conducted by the Belgian Research Centre for Application of Steel (OCAS), is a joint industry project and part of the Carbon Trust’s Offshore Wind Accelerator (OWA). The project ‘Improved Fatigue Life of Welded Jacket Connections (JaCo)’, launched in 2017 and concluded at the end of 2023. In addition to showing…
