Biodiversity

OX2 aims to develop renewable electricity generation that creates significant climate benefits while also benefiting biodiversity. We want to lead the way towards a nature-positive climate transition. In order for offshore wind projects to contribute to increased biodiversity and vibrant marine environments, we are exploring opportunities such as seabed oxygenation and the establishment of mussel and algae beds.

Nature-positive solar and wind farms

Our expansion of renewable energy should not come at the expense of nature and it is not enough for us to mitigate climate change. We have long worked to minimize our negative impact on nature, and are now taking decisive action towards our goal of nature-positive wind and solar farms by 2030. With this focus, our aim is to develop renewable electricity solutions that creates significant climate benefits while also benefiting biodiversity.

We have set three targets to achieve our long-term goal of nature-positive wind and solar farms by 2030. We will use the mitigation hierarchy as a guiding principle in all new solar and wind farm developments, create credibility and transparency around the work on biodiversity by measuring, documenting and reporting, and work with scientists, landowners and other external stakeholders to increase understanding of the link between renewable energy and biodiversity.
