#TSO @EnerginetDK wants the #Danish government to trim its proposed #birdconservation area near the island of Bornholm because the #wildlifeprotection zone conflicts with both #offshorewind sites designated for the 2GW Baltic #energyisland. #renewables bit.ly/3jMHxr3
#German #utility @RWE_AG is marred by cold #storms and #floods that have cost both money and lives. It's something the company will have to include in its considerations, says #CEO. #energy #Germany #flooding #windenergy #renewables #ExtremeWeather bit.ly/3sfXj0c
#Germany's #onshorewind build-out increased 60% in the first half of 2021 compared to H1 2020, but "indescribably complicated" approval processes still prevent the #windenergy sector from fulfilling #government expansion goals. #renewables #windpower bit.ly/3ywuUVL
Rising #carbon prices and the coming #ETS expansion hit #EasternEuropean countries extra hard as they struggle to keep pace in #climatechangemitigation, signaling some major struggles within the #EU #carbonquotas #energyfairness #europeanintegration bit.ly/3qijzWa
#Denmark has become a net gas importer since taking the #Tyra field offline for reestablishment. Imports could now continue until 2023 due to the #BalticPipe's repealed permit. Meanwhile, #Russian #gas flows north via #Germany. bit.ly/3d0vHpc
Alongside power companies BKK and Lyse, #oilandgas supermajor @Shell announces its intention to bid for #offshorewind development licenses on the #Norwegian continental shelf. #energy #renewableenergy #renewables #windenergy #windpower #cleanenergy bit.ly/3wM5kLq
#Gas #pipeline #NordStream2 is scheduled to commence testing next week to see if everything works as intended, a #Russian governor tells domestic news agency Tass. #oilandgas #energy #fossilfuels #naturalgas #energypolicy #Russia #Germany #BalticSea bit.ly/3fLMs9k
New doors opened for #climateactivism after last week, when @Shell, @exxonmobil and @Chevron were ordered to step up their #climate efforts, says @greenpeacedk campaign lead @sscheller. #ClimateAction #oilandgas #carbonemissions #CO2 #BigOil bit.ly/2RcwTy2
Allowing #oilandgas platforms to remain in the #NorthSea after #decommissioning to serve as #artificial #reefs in support of #marinelife is a "very, very bad idea", says @greenpeacedk campaign lead @sscheller. #biodiversity #sustainability #rigstoreefs bit.ly/2TtOpyK
The #German government forwards 62 large-scale #hydrogen projects to pan-#European initiative #IPCEI. We aim to be number one within hydrogen, says economics minister @peteraltmaier. #GreenHydrogen #Cleantech #renewableenergy #EU #energy #infrastructure bit.ly/3vuIckb
A #Norwegian consortium seeks to secure a license to expand #offshorewind in Sørlige Nordsjø II, where at least half of the project is meant to benefit domestic companies. #renewableenergy #windpower #floatingwind #greenenergy #Norway #NorthSea bit.ly/34hFjqN
Many non-#EU countries are concerned about the #climate #tariff demanded by several #European firms due to rising ETS #CO2 prices. The @EU_Commission will present a proposal this summer but stands on a knife's edge in terms of integrating the mechanism. bit.ly/3hmn5Mv
