EU Climate and Environment Attachés visit Vattenfall’s Tiny House and see wind-farmed mussels and seaweed 

During the visit, the delegation explored nature-inclusive approaches to wind energy development, emphasizing solutions that integrate biodiversity and circularity directly into the wind farm design. These efforts are essential to achieving Europe’s climate targets while safeguarding marine and coastal ecosystems. 

Highlights of the tour included a visit to Vattenfall’s Tiny House, crafted from a repurposed wind turbine nacelle. The attachés also viewed skis made from recycled wind turbine blades, exemplifying circular economy practices in action. The group also got to see fresh seaweed and mussels sourced freshly by one of Vattenfall’s WIN@sea partners as part of the EU-funded OLAMUR initiative, offering a tangible and flavourful example of the possibilities for multi-use activities inside offshore wind farm areas.

Vattenfall's Head of Environment Helle Herk-Hansen connects with the climate and environment attachés on multipurpose use of windfarms.
