Guided by IPBES-IPCC Joint Workshop Report, Eurelectric Proposes Solutions for EU Clean Energy Transition while Restoring & Protecting Biodiversity
English (396)
"Renewable energy generation and ecological restoration are critical tools to combat climate change. Climate change and biodiversity loss should be tackled together," according to Eurelectric when launching its “Power Plant” project at its Power Summit held in Brussels in June 2022. Eurelectric – the 3500-member strong federation of the European electricity industry – aims to "lead Europe’s energy transition with clean electricity."
In response to the IPBES-IPCC Co-Sponsored Workshop Report, the association claims it is exploring "the potential of limiting global warming while protecting biodiversity" by working with "leading utilities – including frontrunners aiming to be net contributors to biodiversity – as well as civil society, to identify best practices while deploying renewable energy and restoring nature." The project explores synergies (and proposes solutions) for biodiversity protection/restoration and solar, wind and hydro electric power, as well as electrical grids & storage.
According to the association: "Electrification, supported by a massive rollout of renewables, can break the cycle of degradation, and help regenerate biodiversity...Power Plant illustrates how the electricity industry can support the natural world and regenerate biodiversity through integrated renewable energy projects."
