🗞️ Driving the news: The UK’s first "motionless" wind energy system, developed by Aeromine Technologies, has been installed at BMW's MINI plant in Oxford
• This new technology promises to generate clean energy with minimal noise and reduced impact on wildlife, addressing common concerns with traditional wind turbines

🔭 The context: The motionless system uses vertical airfoils to create a vacuum, drawing wind through an internal propeller to produce electricity
• It complements rooftop solar systems, stepping up when solar power is less effective, such as in the evening or winter

🌍 Why it matters for the planet: By reducing noise, vibrations, and bird collisions, motionless wind systems offer a more environmentally friendly alternative to conventional turbines, making renewable energy more adaptable to urban and residential areas.

⏭️ What's next: Aeromine plans to roll out this technology across Europe, targeting large flat-roofed buildings like warehouses and offices, potentially revolutionizing rooftop clean energy generation

💬 One quote: “Our motionless wind energy technology is designed to work seamlessly alongside solar systems,” said Claus Lønborg, Aeromine’s managing director

📈 One stat: The rooftop solar system at the Oxford plant already powers the equivalent of 850 households annually
