Wooden Towers To Help Cut The Cost Of Wind Turbines, Even More
for wind turbines, located on the island of Björkö outside of Gothenburg, in Sweden.
In June 2020, the EU’s European Innovation Council Accelerator program chipped in with SEK 69 million in funding for commercial development. By then Modvion had already inked a deal for a tower of approximately 100 meters with the local utility Varberg Energi, and signed a letter of intent with Rabbalshede Kraft for 10 towers.Things have moved along at a rapid clip since then.
Wooden towers, advantages: Low embedded emissions, lightweight — easy to transport and fast assembly, low volatility in raw material prices.Steel towers, advantages: Established supply chain, high strength, recyclable. Concrete towers, disadvantages: High embedded emissions, heavy – slow assembly and transportation challenges.The lamination love fest continued last year, when the leading wind power firm Vestas deployed the financial firepower of its Vestas Ventures arm in support of Modvion with two rounds of funding in February and June.
