The world's second largest offshore wind farm has been approved to be built off the coast of north Wales. The 250 turbines of Gwynt y Môr offshore wind

farm will be built eight miles off the coast, 10 miles away from Llandudno, Conwy. Gwynt y Môr, combined with three other nearby wind farms, will provide enough green electricity to power the equivalent of 680,000 homes. It has been approved by the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC). Energy and Climate Change Secretary Ed Miliband said the 750MW development by Npower Renewables Ltd will create a "powerhouse for renewable energy" off the north Wales coast. "The UK must clean up its energy supply to fight the damaging effects of climate change and more wind power will help us do this," he said. "The UK is leading the world in offshore wind, and the developments off the coast of north Wales will help keep us front runners." In granting approval, DECC took into account both the distance of the development from the shore and work

almost £300,000 to create cheaper and lower temperature fuel cells. The cells convert fuel to electricity without the need for combustion, and could be introduced to the market in the near future. They could replace combustion engines in cars, and mobile device batteries. The university's chemistry department is trying to develop "carbon-tolerant" fuel cells. Project leader Dr Angela Kruth said: "The aim is to create a new type of low-temperature fuel cell which is able to deal with carbon monoxide better than those about to enter the market - and as a result is cheaper and more efficient in producing electricity. "Our research will develop ways in which the fuel cell can better cope with the carbon monoxide found in the fuel which it is converting into power." Researchers have been awarded £288,000 of funding from Scottish Enterprise's
