Thalassothermal - Renewable marine energy
Thalassothermal energy represents a promising innovation in the field of renewable energies. Unlike tidal power, wave power or wave energy, this technology, which harnesses the heat energy naturally stored in seawater, has no impact on the marine environment and is not dependent on marine conditions, as seawater is at a virtually constant temperature throughout the […]

Tightening of EU rules around air quality and health
Although air quality in Europe has improved over recent decades, air pollution remains the single biggest environmental threat to health. At the end of 2022, the European Commission put forward a revision of EU rules governing this area, coupled with more ambitious targets to be met by 2030, with the aim of reaching “Zero Pollution” by 2050. The text was adopted by the European Parliament on 24 April 2024 and is awaiting adoption by the European Council(1).

Restoring ecological continuity - Green and blue infrastructure
To reproduce, rest, feed, migrate or adapt to climate change, animal and plant species, both aquatic and terrestrial, need to be able to move around. But with urbanisation, deforestation, pollution and intensive farming, natural areas are shrinking and fragmenting, threatening biodiversity and the proper functioning of ecosystems as a whole. Ecosystems that are vital for […]
