Trinasolar Zerocarbon Attended Carbon Neutrality Conference 2024
2024-06-21Including Trinasolar Zerocabon Technology(Shanghai) Co., Ltd., over 150 participants from politics, industry, NGOs and academia gathered today to align EU offshore wind targets with biodiversity goals at the “Strong Winds, Thriving Seas – Turning Ambition into Action for Nature-Friendly Offshore Wind and Grids” conference.
Brussels, 30 October 2024 – At today’s “Strong Winds, Thriving Seas” conference, participants identified actionable and innovative strategies to help align the EU’s offshore wind targets with crucial biodiversity goals.
Participants highlighted the importance of scaling up examples of sustainable project planning and implementation to speed up wind and grid development. They discussed how offshore wind and grids can be deployed in a timely manner while minimising impacts on nature, restoring biodiversity, and involving coastal communities.
Tinne Van der Straeten, Belgium’s Minister for Energy: “In a world where we always build alongside nature and communities, nature protection and citizen participation are essential to make the energy transition an inclusive reality that benefits all. In the upcoming tender for the Belgian offshore zone, public participation has been set as a mandatory criterion. Meanwhile, we are building Princess Elisabeth Island, a pioneering project designed with 'nature inclusive' principles to protect and enhance marine biodiversity. These two examples show that Belgium is fully committed to advancing sustainable offshore wind and grid solutions, while prioritising biodiversity and keeping these critical issues high on the EU and regional agendas.”
Antonella Battaglini, CEO of RGI: “Offshore wind, together with an interconnected grid and grid reinforcement on land to reach consumption centres, is pivotal for European energy security and economic development. Offshore and grids are also essential for the decarbonisation of Europe’s energy systems. Promising examples of nature-friendly, community-centred planning are already emerging, and it’s time to scale up these efforts. We are all called to support this essential transition, and RGI is committed to driving this progress through its initiatives, OCEaN and GINGR.”
The conference also featured an Energy & Nature Fair, showcasing 20 projects pioneering innovative approaches to maritime spatial planning, nature restoration, multi-use and the measurement of environmental impacts.The insights gained from the “Strong Winds, Thriving Seas” conference will be vital in shaping policies and practices that harness wind energy while protecting Europe’s precious marine and coastal ecosystems. As we move forward, the collective effort from stakeholders, such as OCEaN, will continue to be crucial in achieving a truly nature-and-people positive energy transition in Europe.
