A new collaborative marine research project is underway, set to discover innovative designs and best practices for monitoring and reducing underwater noise from floating offshore wind farms. It aims to ensure that our push for renewable energy doesn’t come at the expense of marine life.

Turbine infrastructure’s impact on agriculture and wildlife is an often-debated topic in many walks of life, and addressing it is crucial for the sustainable expansion of wind energy. However, one major concern could soon be put to rest thanks to new research coming out of Canada.

Portugal is going to embark on building its largest wind farm early next year. The wind farm will be part of the Tâmega hydropower complex, one of Europe’s most significant hydro projects completed in the last 25 years.

Wind turbines are by design engineered to withstand various weather conditions, but as proven in a recent event that took place in the heart of the American Midwest, nature’s most extreme events can still pose significant challenges.

As the global climate continues to change, our energy systems face increasing strain from extreme weather events. A recent study led by Washington State University has shed light on an often-overlooked aspect of these extremes: the potential for wind energy to provide a reliable power source during these critical times.

In the face of global challenges such as climate change and sustainable energy demands, international cooperation emerges as a key element in the development of large-scale renewable energy projects. A prime example of this collaboration is found in the story of the Greater Changhua 1 and 2a wind farms, located off the coast of Changhua County, Taiwan.
