Vattenfall and Modvion Start Collaboration

Vattenfall and Modvion have entered into collaboration on using wooden towers for onshore wind turbines, a venture expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in manufacturing by at least 25 percent. Vattenfall will be assessing Modvion's wooden tower for potential use in future wind farms.

"During their life cycles, Vattenfall's wind turbines already have very low levels of climate-impacting emissions. We want to drive those levels down even further. We see that wooden towers can be part of our solution for decreasing our carbon dioxide footprint, which can complement the work we are already doing with fossil-free steel as an example" says Daniel Gustafsson, Vattenfall's head of land-based wind power development in Sweden. Approximately one quarter... ... More: Official Press Release Modvion
