VAAt our research facility the "Laxelerator" in Älvkarleby, Sweden, we are developing an innovative solution to guide fish safely past hydropower plants.
The foam rods are arranged in a wall formation and move dynamically in the water, which is believed to encourage fish to avoid passing through.
In collaboration with Cellufy, we are evaluating bio-based foam rods made from cellulose. Developed by Cellufy, this biodegradable, water-stable material addresses microplastic concerns and marks progress on our journey towards fossil freedom.
With the dancing rods we are hoping to increase biodiversity around our hydropower facilities without affecting the valuable hydroelectricity generation.
