Session description Appropriate maritime spatial planning (MSP) guidelines are a key prerequisite for the rapid expansion of offshore wind energy in European waters. Different approaches and initiatives that have been taken in the EU and beyond will be presented in this session. Following the Communication on a Roadmap for Maritime Spatial Planning of November 2008, the European Commission has entered a stakeholder dialogue on the challenges and practical application of key principles for MSP. This session will look at the key needs of the offshore wind sector with regards to MSP in Europe |

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. |
