As #COP29 gets underway, the consequences of #ClimateChange are ever more extreme. And so our digital landscape, obscuring the truth and delaying urgent action. It is not unsolvable! See this new @caadcoalition report for cases and solutions:

Such a gorgeous story about how the Inchydoney community and @MaREIcentre scientists are working together to slow down coastal erosion in Cork. Dena's love confession to the ocean is a joy! youtube.com/watch?v=_D41ESqX…

#Ireland has adundant winds, a low LCoE, high developer interest and clear political ambition. However, incomplete multi-agency structures, legislature and lack of institutional capacity curb #OffshoreWind progress - a lesson in #EnergyTransition for all. aegirinsights.com/will-irela…

.@ACCIONA_EN and @elgansospain launched a new sneaker featuring recycled wind turbine blades. The shoes’ soles have been manufactured using materials from dismantled wind turbine blades that have undergone a micronizing process.

@IEA_OES publishes a roadmap to develop 300GW of #OceanEnergy by 2050.
Key points:
💸Establish sustained market support mechanisms
💡Invest in innovation
⚖️Balance the two to reduce costs
⚡️Upgrade energy infrastructure now
📝Enable with policies

As we wrap up the @mega_awe @INTERREG_NWE project, a cross-sector initiative aimed at advancing #AirborneWind energy, I find myself contemplating about #innovation 💡 Some reflections here: linkedin.com/feed/update/urn… What are your thoughts on #RenewableEnergy innovation?
ALT Myself and my colleague during the preparations for a Kitepower flight experiment at the airborne wind energy test hub in Ireland.
Can't wait to meet everyone at the #WEItradeshow and discuss how we can advance the #EnergyTransition in #Ireland! Don't miss the talk about novel ecological monitoring methods for offshore renewables we are developing at @BlueWise_Marine, the first up at the innovation stage!

Many people think that #OceanEnergy devices may hurt sea life, but the research shows the opposite. However, because of this misconception, investors and governments aren't in a rush to provide support. Share this video to help fight this bias: youtube.com/watch?v=x58UfCXP…

How could #ClimateChange affect #crime? This new study suggests that decreases in fish production due to climate change could potentially lead to more piracy in East Africa: journals.ametsoc.org/view/jo…
Meeting with partners developing the #AirborneWind energy. The technology is been evaluated for social acceptance, site selection, mass production, erosion and more. On the photo is the @_Kitepower falcon system which can power up to 150 homes. #EnergyTransition @mega_awe
Galway City Council @GalwayCityCo secured a €1 million grant as part of the @NetZeroCitiesEU programme. #Galway is the only Irish city participating in the programme.

Did you know that Google was investing in #AirborneWind? Sadly, the company withdrew after an AWE device crashed during a test. But it didn't stop AWE developers, who used the failure to enhance the technology. Learn more: youtube.com/watch?v=bvbgoJMQ…

The Irish government has published draft Offshore #RenewableEnergy Development Plan (OREDP II). The document focuses on the spatial strategy, proposing how the State will identify the areas best suited for #ORE. gov.ie/pdf/?file=https://ass… #OffshoreWind #Ireland

While governments are raising their ambitions to replace fossil fuels with clean electricity, the companies expected to deliver that shift are under financial pressure: the lack of capital flowing to the #EnergyTransition is the single biggest risk. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
