Research led by Æ»¹ûÒùÔº and based on the assessment of the land-use of close to 320 wind farms in the U.S. (the largest study of its kind) paints a very different picture.</p> Wed, 17 Apr 2024 15:16:02 +0000 admin 1434 at /mcisce Experts: Green hydrogen /mcisce/channels/news/experts-green-hydrogen-356623 <p>AtkinsRéalis, formerly known as SNC-Lavalin, says it has been awarded the engineering contract for the Projet Mauricie green hydrogen hub in Quebec.
