Paludiculture - a scoping review of the agricultural, economic and social science literature
Abstract Introduction: Paludiculture has emerged as a science-initiated land use concept for wet peatlands more than 25 years ago. While research accumulates especially for natural science topics, a recent synthesis for agricultural, economic and social science topics is lacking.
Combining Photovoltaics with the Rewetting of Peatlands-A SWOT Analysis of an Innovative Land Use for the Case of North-East Germany
1. Introduction To achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement on climate change, many countries are aiming at CO2 or greenhouse gas (GHG) neutrality, e.g., Germany by 2045 [1], the European Union by 2050 [2], and China by 2060 [3], among others. As a consequence, decarbonisation transformations are required in all sectors of the economy, in particular in the energy sector, the agriculture sector, as well as in the land use, land use change, and forestry (LULUCF) sector [4].

Hydro dams dot Northern Manitoba but Level 3 charging stations don’t
Driving an electric vehicle is difficult for those in Northern Manitoba because there are no charging stations on the highway between Thompson and Winnipeg. I live in Thompson, Manitoba, the Hub of the North, 750 km north of Winnipeg. I’d love to buy an electric vehicle (EV) tomorrow, but can’t drive it to southern Manitoba. The north is hindered by a lack of EV charging infrastructure. Why?
Time for electric vehicle development to grow in Manitoba
The lack of electric vehicle infrastructure in Manitoba makes driving one impractical in some areas. Have you heard? There is a tsunami coming! Or as some say, a major disruption in transportation around the globe. Well, how about in Manitoba, or not? Hold that thought! The rapid growth of electric vehicles (EV) in the past five years is truly remarkable and predictions are that this will keep happening.
Manitoba as the green energy capital of North America
For over 30 years, Thompson has been a centre for winter weather testing for various transportation sectors – cars, trucks, snowmobiles, helicopters and jet engines. Over the past few years, it is being predicted that a “disruption in transportation” is coming, as the world moves toward clean, sustainable energy use. Thompson is currently researching what needs to be done to attract new vehicle manufacturers to do their winter and cold weather testing in Northern Manitoba.
