Danish company LONGi has used land at its 34MW solar park west of Copenhagen in Zealand to support biodiversity.
The PV farm includes a strip of unused land between the modules and a neighbouring tract that was developed into a thriving wildflower meadow.
The wildflowers nurture pollinators, which are necessary for pollinating not just the plants that feed local animal life but also regional crops.
With 61% of its territory utilised for agriculture, Denmark particularly benefits from the synergy between such clean energy projects and biodiversity.
LONGi VP Europe (Utility) Gulnara Abdullina pointed out that the company manufactures its modules using 40% renewable energy, with plans to reach 100% by 2030: “The Zealand project is focused on producing clean energy, along with further positive environmental impacts like improving biodiversity.
“At the same time, though, it’s important that we as a major player in the solar supply chain are committed to reducing our own emissions.”
