Wind Turbine Tower with 3D-Printed Concrete Base

Wind Industry Profile of

Historic multi-year collaboration between three leaders in their industry to increase renewable energy production and use / Wind turbine towers have typically been limited to a height of under 100 meters, as they are traditionally built in steel or precast concrete GE Renewable Energy, COBOD and LafargeHolcim co-develop record-tall wind turbine towers with 3D-printed concrete bases

GE Renewable Energy, COBOD and LafargeHolcim announced today that they will partner to co-develop wind turbines with optimized 3D printed concrete bases, reaching record heights up to 200 meters. The three partners will undertake a multi-year collaboration to develop this innovative solution, which will increase renewable energy production while lowering the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) and... ...
