(archive: 2011) Wind power and ecology: [posted 2011] The survival of the world ecosystem, including of course ourselves, requires that we harness renewable energy in an environmentally tolerable way. One source of power is wind and it is vital that we assess the impact of current developments. We are destroying our only home, the Earth, on a scale that no other species has even remotely approached. Wind power has a long history. It has been an important local source of energy, for pumping water, grinding corn etc., for . . . #windpower #windenergy

【Academia Sinica and the Ministry of Agriculture Signed the MOU for increasing the Natural Carbon Sink】   In response to the 2050 net-zero carbon emission target, Academia Sinica(中央研究院) #Ministry_of_Agriculture (MOA) signed the MOU on Jul. 17, which aims to achieve carbon reduction in agriculture, resource recycling, and reuse through technological and policy cooperation; furthermore, to assist establishing the monitoring and validation of #natural_carbon_sinks, to accelerate the achievement of the #net_zero carbon emission. #MOA #MOU #Net_zero_emission #Carbon_sink #agricultural_biomass #carbon_sequestration #WindTAIWAN   Read the full article via the link below: https://lnkd.in/gcuVT_hf

We've avoided over 170 tonnes of carbon with the help of Ecologi, and we're not stopping there 🌱 By supporting projects to prevent CO2e, they also help to restore nature and support local communities. Projects that we've supported include: ☁️ Avoiding methane emissions from landfill in Brazil 🌴 Protection of the Matavén forest in eastern Colombia ☀️ Generating renewable solar electricity in Egypt 💨 First ever wind power project in Honduras 💡 Generating electricity from landfill gas in Brazil 🔥 Distributing cleaner cookstoves in Kenya And more!

Ecological monitoring reveals rising plant and bird species diversity at a 138 MW nature-friendly solar park in Hungary during its first year of operation. 🌱 A biodiversity survey has recorded an increase in plant and bird species during the first operational year of a solar installation that was specifically designed to be nature-friendly. SolServices Kft. operates the 138 MW Lumen Park Szolnok in central Hungary. The project was built according to guidelines for the development of ecologically conscious solar arrays outlined in a 2023 white paper by SolServices. Ecological experts assessed the area's wildlife before construction. The monitoring results from the first year of the three-year study period, released by SolServices and shared with pv magazine, show an increase in species diversity, with positive changes observed in the number of nesting and area-using species.

#OffshoreWind construction impacts marine bird habitats in various ways. Researchers from The Nature Conservancy in New York, Biodiversity Research Institute and The Biodiversity Consultancy Ltd conducted a meta-analysis to understand the underlying factors influencing bird displacement and attraction to wind farms. Understanding the effects of offshore wind farms on marine bird distributions and habitat use is important to inform environmental impact assessments and future research studies.

☀️ How can we ramp up renewable energy generation with biodiversity in mind? 🐝 Using #AI and other cutting-edge techniques, research led by Lancaster University's Hollie Blaydes – in partnership with Low Carbon – will track the impact of solar farms on local pollinators. This comprehensive, real-time data will help us understand how these kinds of sites can best support pollinators, and could transform what #biodiversity monitoring looks like in the future.

🌎How does agrivoltaics support our earth? ♻️The Houston Solar Farm was intentionally built with the earth in mind. A low-mulching protocol was used to preserve topsoil and low-growing woody shrubs. Native species, like berries, can continue to grow and sequester carbon while solar panels produce clean energy. 🥕Renewable IPP, the solar developer, designed the site climate-consciously. The boreal species will attract pollinators to sustain our ecosystem, and the nutrient-rich soils will grow vegetables to feed our community.

🐜 It seems like native insects can actually find new homes in solar power plants. 🏡 Native plants can attract native insects, thus boosting biodiversity. Researchers from the US Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory and National Renewable Energy Laboratory ran experiments and surveys on the progress of a solar-pollinator habitat.
