NINA har ledet et samarbeidsprosjekt som har vurdert miljøeffektene av fornybar energi. Nå har vi publisert en nettside med interaktive kart som sammenligner vannkraft, vindkraft på land og solenergi. Bransjeprognoser med mer energiutbygging vil kreve miljømessige avveininger. tinyurl.com/4wabb9hd

Found an odd male diving duck west of Kautokeino in Finnmark. A mixture of features suggest it might be a hybrid between Ring-necked Duck and Canvasback, both of which are North American species. A rare hybrid but then also unusual to turn up as vagrant in northern Norway. ebird.org/checklist/S2...

New article on land use efficiency of renewable energy in Norway. Production density (GWh/km2) was highest for small hydropower and low for land-based wind. Storage hydropower needed to balance wind power at 0.2/1.0 TWh. Led by M.S. Kenawi with collaborators at NTNU and NINA. doi.org/10.1016/j.re...
