Offshore wind farms and seabirds
The project "Expansion of offshore wind energy in Germany: Effects on seabirds in the North and Baltic Seas" (OWP Seabirds) aims to investigate in more detail how offshore wind farms in operation…

Peatland PV - potential areas and nature conservation impacts
The construction of solar plants on rewetted peatland soils is economically stimulated by the amendment of the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG). So far, however, there is a lack of practical…

Progressive biofuels
The EU is targeting future funding at biofuels from raw materials, which are expected to have fewer negative effects on land use than conventional biofuels e.g. from rape, cereals or palm oil. The…

RE scenarios from a nature conservation viewpoint
The project aims to find a balance between the economic and technical requirements of future renewable energy sites and the most environmentally compatible development of them. The alternative…

RE100 in practice – environmentally compatible energy transition
The conversion of the energy supply system must be designed to be environmentally and landscape compatible, while taking account of human needs. Existing studies of this suffer from major…

Small wind turbines and bats
While the danger to bats from large wind turbines has now been proved, there is still uncertainty about the effects of small wind turbines (SWT). Based on a before-and-after comparison, bat behaviour…

Songbird migration offshore
Every year, millions of songbirds fly over the North Sea as they migrate between their wintering and breeding grounds. However, this behaviour is still poorly understood with regard to the massive…

Species conservation and small wind turbines
This project records baseline data on a larger scale for the first time in order to evaluate the effects of small wind turbines on birds and bats. The study also analyses the relevant determining…
