NREL Tool Aims To Predict Interactions Between Soaring Eagles and Wind Turbines

Golden eagles, like many raptors, know how to take the path of least resistance. When they spread their wings and take to the skies, they typically look for updrafts (upward pushes of air) to assist their flight, letting them soar to greater altitudes without expending much energy. However, those updrafts and associated high winds are also valuable for generating clean energy, making wind turbines more of a potential risk to eagles and other flying animals.

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy and Ørsted Host Clean Energy Panel in Cork

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy and Ørsted hosted an expert panel discussion highlighting the importance of renewable energy projects. The panel discussed the immediate need to accelerate renewable energy projects to ensure energy security. The Future of Clean Energy: Harnessing Partnerships and Policy event, which took place in University College Cork, was organized as part of Governor Murphy’s economic mission to Ireland.

Ecological concrete to reduce the impact of offshore wind energy infrastructures       

ECOncrete is a new bio-enhancing material that encourages local organisms to settle on the surface of marine infrastructure such as ports, docks, underwater cable protection and wind turbines, while also reinforcing and protecting them. When using environmentally friendly materials, the construction sector can help reduce the environmental impact of offshore wind turbine infrastructures.
