What happens beneath the surface when we generate electricity at sea?
Together with the Swedish Royal Institute of Technology and the University of Southern Denmark, we are investigating whether harbour porpoises can detect electromagnetic fields created by subsea cables from offshore wind farms, and how they respond to them.

In carefully designed research studies, trained harbour porpoises take part in experiments that use only positive reinforcement and no coercion. These studies help to better understand:

– whether they can detect electromagnetic fields
– how sensitive they are to these fields
– whether this could affect their behaviour

Over the past two decades, Vattenfall has built a leading biodiversity research program called BioWins. This in‑house R&D program goes beyond regulatory requirements, aiming to understand and mitigate the impacts of wind and solar farms on nature with scientific rigor.

Vattenfall’s dedicated Bioscience Team of environmental experts provides evidence‑based guidance on biodiversity risks and opportunities, drawing on more than 60 collaborative scientific research projects conducted in close partnership with leading universities, NGOs and researchers. The research provides valuable insights into potential impacts and helps guide the sustainable design, development, and operation of wind farms.

A diverse energy system is a resilient energy system. Hydro, nuclear, wind and solar – combined in a diverse and decentralised mix. When production is spread out, disruption in one place does less damage overall.

In a new report, Eurelectric looks at how Europe can strengthen resilience in uncertain times. Crisis teams, shared information and stockpiled equipment are part of the answer – but so is how we design the system itself.

Renewable energy is not only about reducing emissions. It strengthens energy security by relying on resources we have here in Europe – the wind, the sun and the water.

Together with our partners at SSAB, we’re building the single largest component produced with close to zero carbon dioxide emissions in iron production. In 2028, we will install a 120 tonne dam gate in the Stornorrfors hydropower plant in northern Sweden – a proof of concept, using hydrogen reduced sponge iron based on our HYBRIT® technology. Using this technology to manufacture the gate is estimated to reduce CO2 emissions by 200 tonnes, compared to traditional steel production.

It’s a full circle moment: fossil-free electricity powering the production of fossil-free steel – used for fossil-free hydropower.

This is an important step towards a society where it’s possible to move, make and live fossil free.

Is it possible to make cement with near-zero CO2 emissions? Through a collaboration with Cemvision, we support development of a new type of cement that could reduce carbon dioxide emissions by up to 95% compared to traditional cement.

To cut carbon emissions from the energy system, we must also cut the emissions from the materials it is built with.

At our research and development center in Sweden, we are exploring initiatives like this and more to reduce environmental impact while supplying an increasing amount of fossil free electricity to Northern Europe.

Conventional cement makes up around 8% of the world's total CO2 emissions – making our buildings, roads and infrastructure a big contributor to climate change.

Our partner Cemvision is making cement with up to 95% lower CO2 emissions by using recycled materials and fossil free electricity from Vattenfall. Through an agreement with Cemvision, Vattenfall will be using near-zero-carbon emission cement in energy infrastructure projects across Europe from 2028.

At Vattenfall, we’re working for a future where we can all choose fossil free ways to move, make and live. Fossil free electricity, power from wind, solar, hydro and nuclear, is at the heart of our commitment. Our goal is to be free of fossil fuels in our own primary electricity and heat production by 2040.
This means expanding our generation of fossil free electricity, supporting electric transport infrastructure and helping industrial partners shift from fossil fuels to fossil free solutions.

At Vattenfall, our attitude has always been that there’s a way. History has shown us that progress is rarely easy, but always possible – with the right mindset. Whether it’s building massive hydro power plants in extremely remote areas more than a hundred years ago, being part of enabling fossil free steel, or building the world’s largest offshore wind farm at the time, we know that there’s a way to do things that once seemed impossible.

In fact, progress is happening all around us every day. Fossil free technologies already exist and are improving all the time. So even when it seems like there’s no way to leave fossil fuels behind, at Vattenfall we’re confident that there’s a way.

At Vattenfall, our attitude has always been that there’s a way to take on even the toughest challenges. Whether it’s building massive hydro power plants in extremely remote areas more than a hundred years ago, being part of enabling fossil free steel, or building the world’s largest offshore wind farm at the time, we know that there’s a way to do things that once seemed impossible.

In fact, progress is happening all around us every day. Fossil free technologies already exist and are improving all the time. So even when it feels like there’s no way to leave fossil fuels behind, at Vattenfall we say, there’s only no way, until there is one. With fossil free electricity, there’s a way.

For years, large batteries were talked about as the solution just around the corner. Now they are being built at pace.
Across Europe, battery parks are scaling up to capture surplus wind and solar power and release it within seconds when the system tightens. Falling costs and new setups are pushing battery storage from the margins into centre of how the power system is balanced.

Encouraging results from our seabird study!

We’ve been monitoring how seabirds interact with one of the turbines at our Aberdeen offshore wind farm – every day for 19 months.

Using AI-supported cameras and extensive manual expert review, 2,007 flight paths were analysed. Five cases were highlighted for further review, but closer scrutiny confirmed that there were no actual collisions.

Together with the previous studies at Aberdeen, the findings show that seabirds actively avoid turbine blades – often keeping a distance of 100–200 metres – and that the impact is far lower than predicted before the wind farm was built in 2018.

Long-term, real-world monitoring like this helps improve environmental assessments and gives greater confidence as offshore wind expands.

Note: The research analysed video footage from 19 months of continuous monitoring of one of the Aberdeen turbines, between June 2023 and December 2024. The equipment captured around 95% of daylight hours and recorded 2,007 bird flight paths near the monitored turbine.

Sweden is taking the next step in responsible nuclear energy. After more than 40 years of research and planning, construction has begun on one of the world’s first final repositories for spent nuclear fuel, led by the Swedish nuclear fuel and waste management company, SKB.
The waste will be stored safely 500 meters underground, sealed in copper canisters and protected by layers of clay and solid bedrock.
