In the North Sea, Offshore Wind Turbines Would Move up to 1.5 Million Tonnes of Mud Each Year and Could Disrupt the Carbon Cycle, According to a Modelling Study
Offshore wind turbines in the North Sea move up to 1.5 million tonnes of vase and organic carbon each year, disrupting natural balances built over millennia. The European Union plans to increase the installed capacity by ten times by 2050. However, an unknown effect of these installations emerges from the latest simulations. Offshore wind farms alter water stratification and mud deposits The offshore turbines act on their environment by two simu…
