Population genomics of Baltic Sea harbour porpoises
The Baltic Sea is experiencing an increase in pile driving for wind power exploitation that also affects areas used by harbour porpoises. In view of this and due to the current threat to a potential…
MorePreventative measures for underground cable projects
Laying high-voltage underground cables (for example HVDC – high-voltage direct current transmission) requires a range of prevention and mitigation measures. The research project develops practical…
MoreProBat
The software tool ProBat 7.0 calculates bat-friendly cut-in wind speeds for onshore wind turbines (WT). This operational management helps to minimise the killing risk for bats (collision or…
MoreProBIRD
The aim of this project was to assess possible collision risks of migratory birds at offshore wind farms. Furthermore, models were developed to predict the risk of bird collisions. From these models,…
MoreProgressive 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…
MoreQuality assurance of bat expert opinions
Guaranteeing the quality of bat expert reports for wind turbine planning and approval is an important current requirement for an environmentally compatible energy transition. Species protection needs…
MoreRE 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…
MoreRE100 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…
MoreRenewable energy: Regional Simulation Game
The project will evaluate at the regional level the assessment methodology and results of the previous project "Expansion scenarios for renewable energies from a nature conservation viewpoint", in…
MoreRenewables in nature conservation monitoring
The project fills the gap of a missing overall view of the effects of the expansion of renewable energies on nature and landscape since 1991. The research project will examine the impact of the…
