the Swedish engineers invented a new way to save the climate. They began to build a 30-metre-high wind turbines made of wood, which allows to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. On Wednesday, may 6, according to Bloomberg.
last week, a Swedish engineering and construction company Modvion presented their project — wind tower, made of wood of coniferous breeds. Wind turbine look and their qualities are not different from the steel counterparts, but in its production produces significantly less greenhouse gases. The fact is that when working with steel required for conventional wind turbines, used fossil fuels, which accounts for about 7 percent of all emissions in the world.
Emissions of hydrocarbons for energy production from wind can be reduced to zero, said Executive Director Modvion Lundman Otto (Otto Lundman). “The opportunity to apply carbon fiber in large-scale construction — a gift of nature,” he said.
In the future Modvion going to build the tower five times higher to generate more energy. Thus, a major wind farm in the Nordic region Rabbalshede Kraft plans to buy the company has 10 towers with a height of 150 meters.
