New Siemens technologies aim to help reduce fuel use, emissions from offshore rigs

摘要

Siemens Energy recently announced efforts to deliver technologies aimed at helping offshore rigs reduce emissions. In one project with Maersk Drilling, Siemens has upgraded two CJ70 jackups in the North Sea with hybrid power plants that use lithium-ion energy storage. The rigs - the Maersk Intrepid and the Maersk Integrator -were retrofitted with the Blue Vault batteries, which reduce the runtime of onboard combustion engines.
