Europe generated almost 18% of its electricity by wind and solar last year, while China, India and the US were all above the global average of 8%, according to a new report

The agreement includes the development and operation of 502MW of offshore wind projects in the North Shanghai

The renewable power company will supply 12 wind turbines and a two-year service agreement to a 30MW wind farm in China

This change is estimated to reduce the plant’s carbon dioxide emissions by more than 11,000 tonnes per year

The global wind turbine manufacturer will also provide service and maintenance under a five-year agreement

The new project will explore practices to sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and reduce greenhouse gas emissions at each stage in the tea value chain

The wind farm has an installed capacity of 350MW and consists of 64 wind turbines

The 500kW project has been developed by Scottish firm Simec Atlantis Energy and boasts a rotor diameter of 18 metres

However, they are split on whether or not the government should take actions which might harm the environment to help the economy recover, according to a poll

Researchers say the project could lead to ‘more durable, sustainable and cheaper roads’
