Biodiversitets Steering

We are developing strategies to protect insects during sensitive swarming periods, minimizing both ecological damage and production losses at the turbines. Our mission is to protect pollinating insects that are drawn to wind turbines by heat, light, shelter, and vibration.Controlling and adjusting wind turbine operations when insect swarms approach can safeguard our planet's biodiversity. As a direct response to AI-monitored swarms, a wind turbine can be stopped within 30 to 60 seconds. This intervention also protects birds and bats, which are drawn to the swarms and otherwise fall victim to non-biodiverse wind farming strategies.

Optimized Operations
Insect contamination on wind turbines can cause production efficiency losses of up to 50%. Our goal is to minimize these losses and maximize energy output through strategically optimized operations. We believe this can be achieved through smart curtailment.As wind farms move offshore, they cross the path of vast insect swarms traveling along wind currents and million-year-old migration routes. Implementing curtailment solutions stops the mass loss of insects vital to pollination and global ecosystems. Choosing BioWindFarming is an absolute necessity if we want the green energy transition to truly protect life on Earth.

Environmental Scaling

Our ambition is to help the wind industry grow sustainably with solutions that harmonize with natural processes to create a long-term balance. Become BioWindFarm Certified and let the world know you take biodiversity seriously. Previous studies show that up to 5% of insects are killed by windfarming when passing windfarms; with the rapid expansion of offshore wind farms, this number is set to rise significantly.
