Carried out by environmental specialists from Gardline Environmental and HiDef Aerial Surveying, the extensive surveys were commissioned to enable Forewind to gather vital information about the species and numbers of bird and marine mammal species, their distributions and seasonal variations across
Fed up with the undue influence of the energy companies, utilities, lobbyists and other interests that are making it impossible for Washington to move forward decisively in achieving America’s clean energy future, the Chesapeake Climate Action Network (CCAN) is joining 35 other citizen organizations
The rise of ocean infrastructure development to tap energy sources such as tides, offshore wind and natural gas will require more pile driving, the practice of pounding long, hollow steel pipes called piles into the ocean floor to support energy turbines and other structures. But pile driving create
Scientists worry about the impact of the subsea turbines on deep-diving seabirds along the Scottish coastline, reported scotsman.com. Developers of the wave projects are now facing the problems that have been an issue for onshore wind farm developers for some time. Scientists in the Pentland Firth h
As the environmentalists struggle with wind power pros and cons, a similar debate over UK’s Severn Estuary tidal power proposal is taking place. The Earth Techling news portal writes that the project was seen as feasible and likely to produce low-cost energy. On the other hand, it was determined to
Gamesa has again demonstrated its commitment to leadership in environmental protection and product improvement in the renewable energy industry by obtaining Ecodesign certification – granted by rating agency TÜV in accordance with ISO 14006/2011 standards — for its G128-4.5 MW wind turbine, the firs
Scotland’s Environment Minister, Stewart Stevenson, has highlighted Scotland’s world-leading role in both the development of renewables and in championing the need for climate justice for the world’s poorest communities as he marks World Environment Day. The theme for World Environment Day is ‘The G
Gemini SeaTec provides an early warning of the presence of marine mammals in the vicinity of marine current turbine structures. The Gemini SeaTec system has been successfully field tested on the Marine Current Turbine (MCT) SeaGen installation in Strangford Lough, Northern Ireland, overseen and test
While speaking at an energy forum held on Thursday in Halifax, John Ferland, ORPC’s (Ocean Renewable Power Company) director of project development said that the tidal power industry in Maine and Nova Scotia should have a mutual approach to help the industry’s development, the Herald Business inform
