IN Practice

IN PRACTICE summarizes the central results of a research project in a practical form on just a few pages. It is thus aimed specifically at the planning and approval practice at the various planning levels.

Nature and landscape conservation: GIS-supported scenarios for wind energy

The geographical distribution of the future expansion of onshore wind energy is one of the major controversial planning tasks. The new method funded by the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation enables the transfer of all aspects of nature and landscape conservation of relevance for wind power to a national GIS model for the first time. Thereby, an evaluation of different wind power expansion scenarios in terms of their risks of conflicting with nature and landscape conservation is possible. The analyses show that, for the 2035 target of roughly 270 TWh of energy from onshore wind turbines, there is considerable scope for expansion that is compatible with nature and landscape.

Bird flight diverters on overhead power lines – an expert convention proposal to take account of the species-specific protective effect in planning and approval procedures

Bird flight diverters on high-voltage lines reduce the approach and collision risks for birds. However, expert conservation examination of new construction projects still leaves uncertainty in assessing their effectiveness for individual bird species in practice. The new convention proposal makes the first assessment of the degree to which the constellation-specific risk (CSR) for 164 bird species can be reduced by the use of bird diverters.

How can the expansion in renewable energies be designed in harmony with nature? The Federal Agency for Nature Conservation (BfN) is providing expert scientific advice on this question to the Federal Ministry of the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (Bundesumweltministerium, BMUB). Research by the BfN always has a practical application and generates scientific results for advising government i.e. supplies a basis for decision-making for the preparation, implementation, monitoring and further development of nature conservation measures and the Federal Government's nature conservation policy.
