One third of rivers across Europe breached a \u2018high\u2019 flood threshold last year, according to the EU climate agency\u2019s latest report. In some areas, fuller rivers strengthened the hand of one renewable: hydropower. Potential for run-of-river hydropower generation was above average across much of Europe for the year as a whole, Copernicus says.<\/p>\n<p>With this form of hydropower, a portion of the river is diverted through a canal or a penstock to spin a turbine and generate electricity. According to climate scientists, extreme precipitation is set to increase with global warming across most of Europe, except the Mediterranean. There will be more rainfall during northern European winters and less in Mediterranean summers.<\/p>\n<p>While there might be more potential for \u2018water batteries\u2019, especially in northwest Europe, not everyone is convinced it\u2019s the best route to clean energy. Environmentalists are concerned about the impact of new dams on Europe\u2019s waterways, pointing out that the ecosystems it impinges on are not renewable. To help buff the green credentials of hydropower projects, the Hydropower Sustainability Alliance has developed a global certification scheme that the industry can check itself against. Plans should avoid negative biodiversity impacts, for example, and take water supplies into account. Even the best-laid plans, however, are being projected into an increasingly unstable future.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/world\/north-korea-sends-balloons-filled-trash-waste-south-kim-jong-un-rcna154435\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-532\/\">\u2018Unchartered territory\u2019: What Europe\u2019s wetter climate means for hydropower<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,696,3122],"class_list":["post-130950","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-europe","tag-hydropower"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130950","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=130950"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130950\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130950"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130950"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130950"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
