NHV helicopters to use low-emissions fuel for Vestas offshore wind operations

NHV Group is working with Vestas to limit greenhouse-gas emissions from helicopter operations related to Vestas’ offshore wind turbine operations in the North Sea.

Flights of NHV helicopters departing from Esbjerg Airport in western Denmark will use sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) where possible, supplied by DCC & Shell Aviation DK. The minimum 40% SAF blend is produced from biowaste materials such as used cooking oil.

In addition, NHV will provide dedicated crew change flights for Vestas to the He Dreiht wind farm under a multi-year contract awarded late last year, involving the first use of an Airbus super-medium aircraft for offshore wind projects in the North Sea.
