Keyfield International announced in a statement that its work barge, Keyfield Wisdom, which can accommodate 500 people, has begun utilizing solar power and a battery storage system, with a total capacity of approximately 121.2kWp (kilowatt peak). This initiative has reduced reliance on the vessel's onboard generators, leading to a decrease in carbon emissions, although specific reductions were not disclosed.
