The European Wind Energy Association WindEurope demands ambitious targets from the countries bordering the Baltic Sea to make the existing potential of the ocean accessible to offshore wind energy as quickly as possible.

For a long time, the Baltic Sea was considered a difficult terrain for offshore wind energy. Compared to the already well developed North Sea, the soil conditions alone are much more complicated. Due to the ice ages, the ocean bed is characterised by various types of rock, not all of which can be worked equally well. However, the progressive technological development of the offshore industry and a growing pool of experience from the North Sea are ...

As climate change gets worse, more and more people will leave their homes. This will lead to a surge in the refugee crisis in the coming years.

There’s never been a better time to invest in wind power

Technological advances allow modern wind turbines to reach stronger, steadier winds. That lowers costs and increases the amount of electricity each turbine ...

The new government of Germany did not yet want toput it into the coalition agreement, but more and more countries are drawing the line under coal-fired power generation.

In the long run, the energy transition will only work if coal is phased out, and the faster the better. While the new Grand Coalition in Germany has not been able to take this step for the time being, pressure from outside is growing. More and more countries have set specific exit targets. If Germany does not want to be on the coal sinner's side with ...

In an increasing number of countries, projects for the expansion of renewable energies are awarded in tendering procedures that vary from region to region. At the moment, however, one thing seems to be clear: no country has yet found the perfect system. Instead, experiments are carried out everywhere, new rules tested and improved afterwards.

In Germany, where auctions for onshore wind energy were held for the first time last year, it quickly became clear that although the idea of promoting community wind projects was well-intentioned, its ...

Research project aims to reduce costs in the construction of offshore wind farms and at the same time reduce underwater noise during pile driving

The BLUE HAMMER is designed to reduce the underwater noise level when driving in piles for offshore wind ...

Energy company wants to get rid of ballast: The Norwegian company Statoil will soon be called Equinor.

The big energy companies are changing over: As fossil fuels such as oil and gas are increasingly being pushed into the background or disappearing from the portfolio altogether and are being replaced by renewable energies, this is also to be reflected in the names of the companies.

At the end of last year, the Danish company DONG Energy already changed its name to Ørsted. DONG stands for "Danish Oil and ...
