EU grants €5.3m to protect rare Saimaa seals

The funds will go to measures such as building artificial dens to allow the seals to breed during snowless winters.

The EU has granted Finland more than five million euros to protect the highly endangered Saimaa ringed seals.

The funds will go to measures such as building artificial dens to allow the seals to breed during snowless winters.

The 5.3 million euros from the EU’s LIFE programme will make up most of the 7.1-million-euro budget of a new five-year conservation project led by the state forest agency Metsähallitus. Yle, the Environment Ministry and the Regional Council of South Karelia are also among the partners in the project.

The Saimaa seals, one of the world’s rarest seal species, are only found in eastern Finland’s lake district. Their population is slowly recovering after near-extinction in the 1980s. There are now around 420-430 of the rare seals, of which roughly half are able to reproduce. In recent years, more than 80 pups have been born annually.

Artificial dens for snowless winters. 500 km outside the Arctic Circle. It’s a measure of just how much we’ve fucked up. Next up artificial ice for the polar bears, something from the Ices 1 - 8 series, Ice-nine being excluded for obvious reasons.

Heat storage “battery” researchers win €7M grant; Tests planned for Eindhoven, France & Poland

Researchers at TU Eindhoven and TNO were awarded an European grant of 7 million euros to further develop their heat battery. Their battery stores sustainably generated energy to heat homes even on cloudy and windless days. This can be a significant step towards reaching the goal of getting all Dutch homes off the natural gas network by 2050, according to TNO.

"Generating sustainable energy via solar panels or wind turbines has one major disadvantage. No energy is generated on a cloudy day or when it is not windy. And vice versa you have days when more energy is produced than is necessary", Olaf Adan of TNO said to Omroep Brabant. It is already possible to return surplus generated energy to the grid or store it in an electric battery. But according to Adan, those batteries are less efficient, larger and much more expensive than the heat battery TU Eindhoven and TNO are developing.
