With its first harvest just 18 months later, it\u2019s already showing signs of early success.\u201cThere\u2019s an increasing competition for space on land and in the sea,\u201d said Aarhus University senior scientist Annette Bruhn, who leads the project. \u201cWe can, in one area, produce both fossil-free energy and food for a growing population.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With a capacity of over 600 megawatts, Kriegers Flak can power up to 600,000 households. Its 72 turbines deliver clean energy to nearby Denmark and Germany to the south.But researchers saw other potential within the park\u2019s 132 square-kilometer (51 square-mile) area.<\/p>\n<p>The water between its spinning blades has been transformed into an experimental underwater seafood farm.Four hundred-meter (328-foot) lines spread between the turbines grow seaweed and mussel crops. The seaweed was recently harvested for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSeaweed and mussels are low trophic aquaculture crops, which means that they can be produced without the use of fertilizers. They take up nutrients from the sea and produce healthy foods,\u201d Bruhn said. Recent Aarhus University modeling suggests tons of fresh seafood could be produced annually by utilizing just a tenth of Denmark\u2019s wind park area. Researchers say the benefits could go well beyond food production \u2014 mussel and seaweed crops could help improve water quality and capture carbon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are non-fed crops that live from what they take up from the sea, they capture emissions instead of having emissions,\u201d Bruhn said.Researchers say now is the time to develop guidelines to encourage companies to plan for multiple uses of the ocean as European nations massively ramp up production of clean energy from wind turbines in the North Sea.In 1991, Denmark became the first country in the world to install a commercial offshore wind park. More than 30 years later, nearly half of the Danish electricity production derives from wind turbines.Driven to meet climate targets and reduce energy dependence on Russia, nine European countries, including Denmark, last year announced plans to quadruple current production to 120 gigawatts by the end of the decade, and move to 300 gigawatts by 2050.Vattenfall bioscience expert Tim Wilms said there\u2019s \u201chuge potential.\u201d\u201cWe have so much untapped area within our turbines that is not being used,\u201d he said.\u201cIn some areas, it makes a lot of sense to combine with sustainable food\u201d while in other areas \u201cwe might look into offshore solar.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A growing body of research shows that offshore wind farms can have both positive and negative impacts on local ecosystems.Offshore projects have been criticized for damage caused to the sea floor during construction, noise pollution and now debunked claims they caused whale deaths.Meanwhile, the large boulders laid at the base of the turbines to prevent erosion can also act as artificial reefs attracting more marine life and protect from large-scale fishing operations.Wilms said underwater surveys of older wind farms revealed structures \u201ccompletely transformed\u201d, overgrown with different species.Liselotte Hohwy Stokholm, CEO of Danish think tank Ocean Institute, said more \u201cknowledge about multi-use\u201d developments was needed to understand how to combine human activities so that great areas of the ocean could become \u201cstrictly protected areas.\u201dCurrently, efforts are on a limited scale, but researchers hope to soon take their knowledge to the extreme conditions of the North Sea, eventually upscaling to commercial food production.\u201cIt\u2019s very vital that we do it now because there\u2019s so many questions we still need to have answered before we can do this in the right way,\u201d said Bruhn.____Follow AP\u2019s climate coverage at: https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/climate-and-environment<\/p>\n<p>  window.fbAsyncInit = function() {<br \/>\n      FB.init({<\/p>\n<p>              appId : &#8216;870613919693099&#8217;,<\/p>\n<p>          xfbml : true,<br \/>\n          version : &#8216;v2.9&#8217;<br \/>\n      });<br \/>\n  };<\/p>\n<p>  (function(d, s, id){<br \/>\n     var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];<br \/>\n     if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}<br \/>\n     js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;<br \/>\n     js.src = &#8220;https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js&#8221;;<br \/>\n     fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);<br \/>\n   }(document, &#8216;script&#8217;, &#8216;facebook-jssdk&#8217;));<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summarize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs in Arabic KRIEGERS FLAK OFFSHORE WIND FARM, Denmark (AP) \u2014 In a small boat bobbing in the waves between towering offshore wind turbines, researchers in Europe\u2019s Baltic Sea reach into the frigid water and remove long lines stretched between the pylons onto which mussels and seaweed<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":134157,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-134156","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-international"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134156","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=134156"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134156\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":134158,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134156\/revisions\/134158"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/134157"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=134156"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=134156"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=134156"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
