Sustainability case studies
Our systematic sustainability work helps us to accelerate access to renewable energy in a responsible manner, because our expansion of renewable energy cannot come at the expense of nature or people. Here you find case studies that illustrate how our actions relate to the bigger perspective.
In connection with OX2’s construction of the Klevberget wind farm in Ånge municipality in Sweden, OX2 has taken the initiative to increase the biodiversity by re-establishing the freshwater pearl mussel.
OX2 has signed letters of intent with the companies Kobb and Nordic Seafarm to investigate possibilities for the large-scale cultivation of seaweed at the planned Galene offshore wind farm, off the west coast of Sweden.
Measures taken at the wind farm in Wysoka, Poland, will have a positive impact on the local environment through ecosystem services.
OX2 Poland, together with Windhunter Academy, has implemented a training program for former miners to meet the increased need for labor in the wind energy sector.
As part of the development of renewable energy projects in Åland, OX2 explores synergies between business and biodiversity.
In the corner of a ten-hectare site on Åland that is set to become Möckelö energy park, a pilot project is underway where OX2 is testing various measures designed to strengthen the area’s natural ecosystems and biodiversity. This will provide valuable learnings as the Möckelö project progresses.
In connection with OX2’s construction of the Niinimäki wind farm in Pieksämäki municipality in Finland, OX2 have together with partners taken the initiative to increase biodiversity by restoring the streams where the endangered brown lake trout live.
In connection with OX2's construction of the Karskruv wind farm in Uppvidinge municipality, OX2 has taken the initiative to increase biodiversity values by recreating pastures.
In connection with the development of renewable energy projects, OX2 is exploring methods to enhance biodiversity and carbon sequestration.
In connection with the development of projects in Poland, OX2 is engaging with the younger generation around cross generational issues.
In connection with the offshore windfarms that OX2 is developing, artificial reefs are planned to benefit cod, an endangered and important predatory fish for the Baltic Sea.
The greenhouse gas emissions from our projects mainly come from materials, land use, and construction activities. Technological advancements in the industry enables a reduction of our climate impact. OX2 welcomes these technological advancements and hope that best practice in short will be common practice.
Efforts to reverse biodiversity loss and increase climate resilience have led to OX2 focusing on practical action across multiple project sites: reviewing the location, dimension and design of culverts.
In connection with the development of onshore wind farms, OX2 has taken the initiative to restore and protect forest ecosystems.
