As part of the WIN@sea project, Vattenfall, in collaboration with Danish universities and companies, aims to demonstrate the harmonious coexistence of fossil-free energy generation and food production while enhancing the marine environment and biodiversity.<\/h3>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s going to an exciting year for us. One of the big milestones will be our initial harvest of seaweed for food production from the offshore wind farm in late spring. We are working to produce both fossil-free energy and sustainable food from the sea in the same place whilst providing data for environmental monitoring at the site. At the same time, we are documenting effects on the marine environment and biodiversity,\u201d said WIN@sea Senior Researcher &amp; Project Leader Annette Bruhn from the Department of Ecoscience, Aarhus University.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div   class='hr hr-default   avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_image '><span class='hr-inner ' ><span class='hr-inner-style'><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-image-container  av-styling-    avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_textblock  avia-align-center '  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"  ><div class='avia-image-container-inner'><div class='avia-image-overlay-wrap'><img class='avia_image' src='https:\/\/fei-online.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/Vattenfall.jpg' alt='' title='Vattenfall' height=\"1814\" width=\"2419\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>Vattenfall\u2019s Kriegers Flak offshore wind farm explores dual role in green energy and food production<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div   class='hr hr-default   avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner ' ><span class='hr-inner-style'><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><h4>Harnessing the potential of offshore wind farms<\/h4>\n<p>Innovative approaches are at the forefront of this venture. Seaweed and mussel production will be integrated into the areas between the wind turbines. Moreover, special attention is directed towards the regions surrounding the turbine foundations on the seabed, where artificial stone reefs have been created to protect these foundations. Researchers from WIN@sea will study the impact of these man-made reefs on biodiversity, including the cod population. This multi-faceted approach showcases how offshore wind farms can serve purposes beyond energy production.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn Vattenfall we are working for fossil freedom, but not at the expense of biodiversity. That\u2019s why we are working to find a way for our energy installations to be used for more than fossil-free energy generation alone. There is untapped potential in the areas between the offshore wind farms, and we are pleased to be learning so much about how we can activate these areas to help promote and preserve biodiversity\u201d said Tim Wilms, Bioscience Expert at Vattenfall.<\/p>\n<h4>Exploring new horizons in sustainable food<\/h4>\n<p>The WIN@sea project is set to achieve a significant milestone this spring with the first harvest of seaweed from the Kriegers Flak offshore wind farm. The harvested seaweed will undergo rigorous quality analysis before being utilized to create various food products, including seaweed pasta. Plans are also in place to establish mussel-growing lines, further enhancing the farm\u2019s sustainable food production capabilities.<\/p>\n<h4>International recognition for Danish collaboration<\/h4>\n<p>WIN@sea represents a collaborative effort between Aarhus University, the Danish Technological University, the University of Copenhagen, Kerteminde Seafarm, the Kattegat Centre, and Vattenfall. Internationally, this pioneering project is gaining attention, with 47 researchers from over seven countries convening at Vattenfall\u2019s Klintholm facilities on January 9. This year promises to be an eventful one for WIN@sea, with extensive research activities scheduled at the Kriegers Flak site.<\/p>\n<p>The project\u2019s support from VELUX FONDEN, AAGE V. JENSEN NATURFOND, and the EU\u2019s OLAMUR lighthouse project underscores its significance in advancing renewable energy and sustainable food production.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='av-social-sharing-box  avia-builder-el-12  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last  av-social-sharing-box-minimal '><div class='av-share-box'><h5 class='av-share-link-description av-no-toc '>Share this<\/h5><ul class='av-share-box-list noLightbox'><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-facebook' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on Facebook\" href='https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/fei-online.com\/vattenfall-explores-sustainable-food-production-alongside-green-energy-generation\/&#038;t=Vattenfall%20explores%20sustainable%20food%20production%20alongside%20green%20energy%20generation' aria-hidden='false' data-av_icon='\ue8f3' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on Facebook' rel=\"noopener\"><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-twitter' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on Twitter\" href='https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=Vattenfall%20explores%20sustainable%20food%20production%20alongside%20green%20energy%20generation&#038;url=https:\/\/fei-online.com\/?p=11761' aria-hidden='false' data-av_icon='\ue8f1' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on Twitter' rel=\"noopener\"><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-whatsapp' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on WhatsApp\" href='https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?text=https:\/\/fei-online.com\/vattenfall-explores-sustainable-food-production-alongside-green-energy-generation\/' aria-hidden='false' data-av_icon='\uf232' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on WhatsApp' rel=\"noopener\"><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on WhatsApp<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-linkedin' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on LinkedIn\" href='https:\/\/linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&#038;title=Vattenfall%20explores%20sustainable%20food%20production%20alongside%20green%20energy%20generation&#038;url=https:\/\/fei-online.com\/vattenfall-explores-sustainable-food-production-alongside-green-energy-generation\/' aria-hidden='false' data-av_icon='\ue8fc' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on LinkedIn' rel=\"noopener\"><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on LinkedIn<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-mail' ><a  aria-label=\"Share by Mail\" href='mailto:?subject=Vattenfall%20explores%20sustainable%20food%20production%20alongside%20green%20energy%20generation&#038;body=https:\/\/fei-online.com\/vattenfall-explores-sustainable-food-production-alongside-green-energy-generation\/' aria-hidden='false' data-av_icon='\ue805' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share by Mail'><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share by Mail<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/p><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_one_fifth  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding   avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-last  \" style='border-radius:0px;
