Accept RE
A key factor for the success of the energy transition is that the public supports and accepts the expansion of renewable energies. However, doubts about nature and environmental compatibility are…
MoreAvailability of areas for wind energy
Analysis of land availability for onshore wind energy post-2030
MoreBats and wind energy - significance threshold, tower microphone
The "significance threshold" in many regional guidelines (Länderleitfaden) specifies how many dead bats per wind turbine (WT) and year are tolerable. So far, the threshold has been based in most…
MoreBats and wind energy in woodland I
The project's objective is to collate and evaluate existing data to identify and limit the effects of WT on bats in woodland and to remedy any relevant gaps in knowledge by examining case studies.…
MoreBats and wind energy in woodland II
The object of this research project is to establish whether and to what extent wind turbines at forest sites have a negative effect on bats, disturb them or even threaten them to a significant…
MoreBird populations and the energy transition
The project investigates changes in the breeding populations of bird species, especially those which are considered as conservation indicators of species diversity and landscape quality. In…
MoreBird protection at offshore wind turbines
The threat to bird migration represents a potential conflict for the expansion of offshore wind energy. However, there is currently no technical basis for recognising periods of increased collision…
MoreEE100 – Fully renewable and environmentally compatible
How can we design a future environmentally compatible power supply using renewable energies? A detailed examination of emerging technologies in the energy sector from a nature conservation viewpoint…
MoreElectricity storage and conservation
The research project investigates the effects of the increased use of electricity storage technologies such as large batteries and hydrogen applications in the course of the expansion of electricity…
MoreFish conservation and hydropower
This project develops a research concept for the production and evaluation of fish protection and fish bypass facilities at hydropower sites at Eddersheim/Main and Griesheim. The effectiveness of…
