3) Lessons from developing floating offshore wind projects include the need to educate financial partners on emerging technologies, allow for project variations up to final investment
This document summarizes the progress made on an Atlantic offshore wind project near the island of Groix in France. Over four years, the project secured necessary financing, permitting, and technical approvals. Key steps included gaining support from French state agencies, holding public meetings to obtain consent from local stakeholders, and conducting environmental impact assessments. Lessons learned included the importance of coordination between offshore wind and marine energy industries to help optimize and streamline future projects.
This document discusses the conditions needed to fulfill offshore project finance for renewable energy projects. It addresses how levelized cost of energy (LCOE) and internal rate of return (IRR) can evolve from pilot to commercial-scale projects. The main points discussed are how risk mitigation and access to public financing can be leveraged to optimize project finance structures and lower LCOE. Examples from the UK and Europe show how IRR has fallen for offshore wind projects, contributing to a decrease in LCOE. The appropriate IRR requirements to launch the first floating offshore wind projects are also considered.

This document discusses how to optimize the development and structuring of offshore wind farms (OWFs) in order to minimize costs. It examines different spatial planning and development processes used in Europe. The optimal process balances minimizing development risks and contingencies during the tender with efficient timelines between tender award and final investment decision. Processes that involve securing permits after the tender carry more risk, while those involving preliminary technical studies before the tender help reduce development timelines and costs. The document analyzes examples from France, the Netherlands, Denmark, and the UK to determine the most effective approach.

The document discusses cautious investment strategies for container terminals given economic uncertainty. It suggests that ports optimize their existing infrastructure through low-cost practices to prepare for potential growth. Specifically, it recommends that ports (1) combine inbound and outbound container movements in one quay cycle to improve equipment productivity, and (2) pre-marshal containers to minimize rehandling and free up space for more productive activities. Overall, the document advises ports to practice for busy days through infrastructure optimization rather than large investments, in case economic recovery does not materialize or sustain.
Indonesian ports saw container handling increase from 8.8 million TEU in 2009 to a forecasted 17.2 million TEU in 2015 and 26 million TEU in 2020, with Tanjung Priok port expected to increase from 3.9 million TEU handled in 2009 to 7.7 million TEU in 2015 and 11.4 million TEU in 2020. This growth will require investments of $731 million by 2015 and $610 million by 2020 to expand port capacity and hinterland connections as container traffic increases exponentially. Proper coordination of various stakeholders across different levels of government and sectors is needed to integrate plans for water management, land use, transport, traffic, and port development to accommodate the rising demand.

This document discusses infrastructure investment in renewable energy, specifically the performance of offshore wind farms. It finds that offshore wind farms suffer from similar cost and time overruns as other large infrastructure projects. The analysis of 10 British offshore wind farms found all experienced budget overruns, with most projects finishing over time. Delays were often due to issues with weather, technology, equipment bottlenecks, and cabling processes. While offshore wind is an important part of climate strategies, the projects do not distinguish themselves from other "mega projects" and show signs of strategic misrepresentation of costs and timelines.

Monitor indicators of genetic diversity from space using Earth Observation dataSpatial Genetics
Genetic diversity within and among populations is essential for species persistence. While targets and indicators for genetic diversity are captured in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, assessing genetic diversity across many species at national and regional scales remains challenging. Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) need accessible tools for reliable and efficient monitoring at relevant scales. Here, we describe how Earth Observation satellites (EO) make essential contributions to enable, accelerate, and improve genetic diversity monitoring and preservation. Specifically, we introduce a workflow integrating EO into existing genetic diversity monitoring strategies and present a set of examples where EO data is or can be integrated to improve assessment, monitoring, and conservation. We describe how available EO data can be integrated in innovative ways to support calculation of the genetic diversity indicators of the GBF monitoring framework and to inform management and monitoring decisions, especially in areas with limited research infrastructure or access. We also describe novel, integrative approaches to improve the indicators that can be implemented with the coming generation of EO data, and new capabilities that will provide unprecedented detail to characterize the changes to Earth’s surface and their implications for biodiversity, on a global scale.

The modification of an existing product or the formulation of a new product to fill a newly identified market niche or customer need are both examples of product development. This study generally developed and conducted the formulation of aramang baked products enriched with malunggay conducted by the researchers. Specifically, it answered the acceptability level in terms of taste, texture, flavor, odor, and color also the overall acceptability of enriched aramang baked products. The study used the frequency distribution for evaluators to determine the acceptability of enriched aramang baked products enriched with malunggay. As per sensory evaluation conducted by the researchers, it was proven that aramang baked products enriched with malunggay was acceptable in terms of Odor, Taste, Flavor, Color, and Texture. Based on the results of sensory evaluation of enriched aramang baked products proven that three (3) treatments were all highly acceptable in terms of variable Odor, Taste, Flavor, Color and Textures conducted by the researchers.
