BP Alternative Energy has awarded DNV a contract to support in the delivery of a series of operational and maintenance audits of their Europe and Asia alternative energy assets.
BP was one of the first major energy companies to publicly acknowledge the need to reduce carbon emissions. BP Alternative Energy was set up in 2005 and aims to invest USD8 billion in solar, wind, hydrogen and natural gas power technology over the next ten years.
Today, BP Alternative Energy has established operations in Spain, Korea, the Netherlands, UK, and India. All of the locations will be subject to review. The sites involve both wind farms and combined cycle gas turbine power plants, and DNV’s consultants will be required to not only understand the health, safety and environmental risk implications of the activities but also comment on the effectiveness of the operational and maintenance processes.
