Work Package 09 Update – Project Month 06

Work Package 09 Update – Project Month 06 Development of the LiftWEC technology requires identification of potential environmental and social impacts at the design stage. In this way, relevant findings on the potential Environmental and Social Impact of the system can be considered within the design and attempts made to mitigate or alleviate these concerns before significant spending is already underway. A preliminary literature review has been carried out to identify the potential environmental and
