Environmental effects of urban wind energy harvesting: a review by Ioannis Tsionas, Maider Llaguno-Munitxa, André Stephan

“…Given the heterogeneity of urban conditions, the implementation of SUWTs requires detailed local environmental assessment to characterise accurately most environmental effects, notably the net life-cycle primary energy performance and associated GHG emissions, raw materials depletion, recycling, safety, noise, visual and light pollution, and effects on urban wildlife. Effects that require further investigation and which possibly raise regulatory or social acceptance issues are identified and discussed. …”
