Detection of wind turbines rotary motion by birds: A matter of speed and contrast

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 5, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023
Some bird species may detect low‐speed rotation on wind turbines as static. A low contrast between the wind turbine and its background increases the rotation speed treshold at which this phenomenon appears. Automatic Detection Systems used to slow down wind turbines when birds are approaching may thus be counterproductive.

Renewable energies and biodiversity: Impact of ground‐mounted solar photovoltaic sites on bat activity

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 9, Page 1752-1762, September 2023., 2023
Ground‐mounted solar photovoltaic developments have a significant negative effect on bat activity, and should be considered in appropriate planning legislation and policy. Solar photovoltaic developments should be screened in Environmental Impact Assessments for ecological impacts, and appropriate mitigation (e.g.

Land cover changes with the development of anaerobic digestion for biogas production in France

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 15, Issue 5, Page 630-641, May 2023., 2023
We characterized and quantified the land cover changes in farms associated with biogas plants in France, by combining two national spatialized databases. We showed that, on average, the changes were limited, with an increase in maize areas compensated by a decrease in wheat and rapeseed areas, but with a certain variability.

Energy cover crops for biogas production increase soil organic carbon stocks: A modeling approach

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 15, Issue 2, Page 224-238, February 2023., 2023
The anaerobic digestion of cover crops for biogas production does not compete directly with food production and is promoted in various countries. Some questions arose regarding the effects of energy cover crops on soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks.

A Postcolonial Critique of Community Energy: Searching for Community as Solidarity in India and Scotland

Antipode, Volume 53, Issue 1, Page 200-221, January 2021., 2021
Abstract Community renewable energy (CRE) represents a growing empirical and academic turn towards community‐based sustainability and climate change interventions. This paper brings together postcolonial theory and CRE for the first time to outline fundamental tensions in the conceptualisation and application of the idea of community. The understanding

Dispersed Two‐Phase Flow Modelling for Nuclear Safety in the NEPTUNE_CFD Code

Science and Technology of Nuclear Installations, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
The objective of this paper is to give an overview of the capabilities of Eulerian bifluid approach to meet the needs of studies for nuclear safety regarding hydrogen risk, boiling crisis, and pipes and valves maintenance. The Eulerian bifluid approach has been implemented in a CFD code named NEPTUNE_CFD.

Land Cover Changes Following Biogas Development Across Different Farm Types: A Nationwide Study in France

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 17, Issue 10, October 2025.
The French biomethane market is one of the fastest growing in Europe, with farms increasingly using energy cover crops as feedstock for their biogas plants. Our study highlights a diversity of land cover changes following biogas plant implementation, depending on‐farm characteristics and location.

Prospects for public participation in energy transitions in Canada: Householders' interests in hosting, coordinating, and trading electricity at the local level

Canadian Geographer / Le géographe canadien, Volume 69, Issue 4, Winter / hiver 2025.
Abstract In Canada, climate change and the rising cost of fossil fuel‐based energy are driving a transition to cleaner local energy systems—combining renewable energy, storage, and smart devices. While these technologies are important, without public support and participation, they will not ensure a just and sustainable transition.
