🌊 Keeping our wind farms safe, from hundreds of miles away 🌊 At the Hollandse Kust Zuid offshore wind farm we’ve teamed up with Fugro to use sailing drones, operated remotely from Aberdeen in Scotland, to transform the way we carry out maintenance inspections. 🚢 These drones reduce the need for divers and manned vessels, minimizing safety risks for our team. 🚢 Emitting 95% less CO2 compared to manned vessels, the drones mean maintenance of our wind turbines has less impact on the environment. 🚢 Equipped with advanced sensors, sonar, and high-definition cameras, they provide real-time data and operate 24/7, ensuring quicker inspections and fewer unexpected failures.

Madrid Puerta del Sol, por favor orientación este-oeste. Ya va siendo el momento del almacenamiento. Aunque tu no lo sepas tu proximo coche será 100% electriconde baterias.
Some Big cities like Madrid are working in developing regulation about urban Air mobility (UAM) , do you thing that drons are going to be part of urbana landscape? From medioambiental point of view they Would be cero emisiones and silent. I think that drones are increasingly likely to become a part of the urban landscape, especially as cities develop regulations around UAM. This is driven by several factors, including the need for efficient transportation, the reduction of traffic congestion, and advances in technology. From an environmental perspective, drones have the potential to be a positive addition to cities. As far as many of the drones being developed for UAM are electric, which means they can operate with zero emissions, significantly reducing their environmental footprint compared to traditional vehicles powered by fossil fuels. This aligns with global efforts to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change. Regarding noise pollution, while drones are quieter and flight farther than tradicional means, the noise they generate could still be a concern, especially in densely populated urban areas. However, technological advancements are continually being made to reduce the noise levels of drones, aiming to make them as silent as possible. This would help minimize their impact on urban soundscapes. So drones are likely to become an integral part of urban environments in the near future. If properly regulated and designed, they could contribute to more sustainable and efficient cities, offering benefits in terms of reduced emissions and potentially quieter operation compared to current transport options.

Better, faster, smarter Today we announced the world’s first heavy-lift cargo drone operations at the Borssele 1&2 Offshore Wind Farm in The Netherlands. This first of its kind in the offshore wind industry will significantly enhance our operational efficiency and safety. By utilizing drones, we are able to complete tasks 10-15 times faster, reduce costs, lower carbon emissions, and improve safety for our personnel. Proud of the team for constantly finding a better way. https://lnkd.in/dWpZrVDi

That’s a world’s first! We've used heavy-lift cargo drones for the first time in an operational campaign at our Borssele 1 & 2 Offshore Wind Farm in the Netherlands. The 70 kg drones – which have a wingspan of 2.6 m – can transport up to 100 kg of cargo and will help improve operational efficiency and safety while reducing carbon emissions from operating an offshore wind farm. In this specific case, we’ve decided to update some critical evacuation and safety equipment in each of the wind turbines at the Dutch offshore wind farm. Normally, a vessel would sail from one wind turbine to the next, using several different cranes to lift each box to the top of the wind turbine. Instead, the drone simply flew back and forth from an offshore supply vessel directly to the top of the nacelle, allowing us to update the equipment 10-15 times faster than normally.
