As a society and an energy company, we are dependent on the services provided by nature. That's why it's crucial that we take action to preserve it. The EU Nature Restoration Act may be on hold, but that shouldn't stop us from making a positive impact on biodiversity. At #Vattenfall, we're committed to making a net positive impact by 2030. Our ongoing projects and initiatives, from offshore wind farms to hydropower projects, are all aimed at achieving this goal. Check out our biodiversity brochure for an overview of these initiatives.

Indigenous peoples manage 25% of the world’s land area, which contains much of the world’s #biodiversity and the carbon stored in soils and biomass. Despite increasing external pressure, many forests and other ecosystems managed by indigenous peoples are in better condition than nature outside these areas. Ahead of #IndigenousPeoplesDay, let's celebrate and honor the crucial role, perspectives and knowledge of #IndigenousPeoples in preserving nature.

When land gets put to use for #solar, it doesn't just sit there. Especially when paired with #agrivoltaics, a 30 year solar lease means 30 years of ecosystem healing, from improved soil conditions to sanctuary habitat for surrounding wildlife.

As we scale up renewable energy, we must do so in a way that not only helps halt and reverse biodiversity loss, but also actively contributes to nature restoration. This means making the energy transition a true force for good for the climate and biodiversity.        So, what steps can we take to deliver long-term benefits to people and the planet, and how do we measure them? 🌡 Find out at orsted.com/measuringnature. #WorldOceanMonth #Biodiversity #RenewableEnergy 

Let's make energy transition a positive change for both the climate and our planet's ecosystems... But how do we achieve lasting benefits for people and the environment - and how do we measure our impact?

The Hidden Costs of Hydropower Development: While hydropower is often celebrated as a clean energy source, its impact on ecosystems tells a different story. Dam construction disrupts river ecosystems, affecting aquatic habitats and species migration. Flooded areas destroy forests and biodiversity, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions from decaying organic matter. Downstream, altered water flow impacts agriculture, fisheries, and communities relying on natural river cycles. Sustainable hydropower requires careful planning, balancing energy needs with ecosystem health. Let’s prioritize solutions that respect nature while meeting our energy demands. 🌍💧 #Sustainability #Hydropower #EcosystemBalance #CleanEnergy

Oxygen is crucial for all life. Regulation of rivers for generating hydropower is known to affect dissolved oxygen levels in the aquatic ecosystems, potentially affecting diverse range of organisms. We are investigating the extent, frequency and intensity of oxygen levels in regulated northern rivers in a new project across vast number of sites, with an aim to predict the observed biodiversity patterns and restoration potential.

Establishing hundreds of acres of native vegetation in Central Oregon presents unique challenges when precipitation barely ticks over single digits and aggressive invasive species are prevalent in the region. These arid conditions require careful planning, patience, and perseverance. Although it takes time, the reward is clear: a thriving perennial grassland that supports a sustainable and beneficial landscape. A key part of this effort, both for the project and the surrounding community, is controlling noxious and invasive species. If left unchecked, these species threaten the ecological balance and safety of solar operations. As we grow our renewable energy infrastructure, our commitment extends beyond clean energy—it's about being responsible stewards of the land for the long term. #LandStewardship #RenewableEnergy #SolarEnergy #Sustainablity #InvasiveSpeciesManagement #VegetationManagement #NativeVegetation #GettingThingsDone
