Session description Wind energy is one of the cleanest, most environmentally friendly energy sources. It emits no air or water pollutants, nor greenhouse gases. However, at the local and regional levels wind energy can have impacts, in particular on wildlife and/or habitats. Balancing these concerns is a difficult task, and one that requires both a broad understanding of complex issues combined with detailed and specific environmental information. This session will discuss the most recent scientific methods and tools for analysing bird migration, for quantifying compensatory restoration, and resource use and emissions generated throughout the life cycle of offshore wind projects. Speakers will present their views and practice of integration of environmental concerns and will debate the need for guidelines regarding wind energy development and nature conservation. |
