Eleven offshore wind developers bp, EnBW, Fred Olsen Seawind, Parkwind, RWE, ScottishPower Renewables, Shell, SSE, Total Energies, Vattenfall and Ørsted are partnering with the Carbon Trust to make future offshore wind even more sustainable.The developers design, build, and operate offshore wind farms globally, including Europe, North America, and Asia. They will work in collaboration with the Carbon Trust as part of the new Offshore Wind Sustainability Joint Industry Programme to develop the first industry-backed methodology and guidance to measure and address the carbon emissions associated with offshore wind farms throughout their life cycle, including emissions from the manufacturing of materials and installation of wind farms.The aim of this work is to help the global offshore wind industry scale as sustainably as possible and continue its important contribution towards meeting the world’s net-zero target by 2050 and limiting the most extreme impacts of climate change. A common standard will ensure that the scale of installation needed is delivered in a low-carbon way and encourage comparability across developers and assets.
