A study with Oxford University is testing whether colours and patterns on #rotorblades can reduce collisions. Bold designs like black and red stripes look promising. Transparency and scientifically grounded data are key to moving from speculation to knowledge. 5/6.

In the Hollandse Kust Zuid wind farm, #thermal cameras and AI are used to study nocturnal bird migration. Initial results show surprisingly few collisions - none at night - despite large numbers of migratory birds being detected. 4/6.

At Aberdeen Bay, UK, radar and camera data showed no collisions, suggesting birds are good at avoiding turbines. A new #AI system from the Norwegian company Spoor tracks bird flight in 3D and aims to detect collisions in the future. 3/6.

We’ve been working with offshore wind for 20 years and doing bird studies for almost as long. But we haven’t really been able to approach the collision question with the kind of evidence we need. We’ve been left to speculate. #AI technologies could now provide clarity. 2/6.

The elevated water temperature alters the species composition in the lake. #Biodiversity decreases, and only a few fish species benefit. Since the fence to the sea was removed in 2004, the types of fish have changed significantly. 3/6.

The Biotest Lake at Forsmark was created in 1977 as an artificially enclosed area to study the environmental impact of the nearby nuclear power plant. Since then, it has become a key location for marine biological research on #globalwarming and its effects on #ecosystem|s. 2/6.

The water in the Biotest Lake is 10 degrees above average all year round. The temperature difference, due to the heated cooling water from the nuclear power plant in Forsmark, enables researchers to...

By 2030, conventional cement could be 300% more expensive due to the phasing out of #emission allocations. Vattenfall's plan: 10% of concrete production from near-zero cement by 2030. Soon, a #windturbine foundation will be cast to test industrial feasibility. 5/6.

Cement accounts for 8% of global #CO2 emissions. Vattenfall's laboratory in Älvkarleby is researching cement with an extremely low carbon footprint. Building wind turbines with #near-zero|cement could soon become a reality. �1/6.

Cement currently accounts for 8 per cent of the world's carbon dioxide emissions – but if you look at the research and the progress in the industry, this is about to change.

Ringhals #invested in a 3D printer with partners in 2017. RISE leads the #collaboration to develop components that withstand various influences. AM components are at least as good as conventional ones and are already used in #nuclear power plants. 4/5.
