We build wind turbine towers.
In wood.

Making net-zero wind power possible.

See how it works

”World’s tallest wooden wind turbine tower ”– it’s more than just a celebration of our journey and achievements.

About the product

We’re bringing to market the next generation of tall towers in engineered wood, nature’s own carbon fibre.

 

– Maria-Lina Hedlund, CEO, Modvion

Wooden wind turbine towers are the solution to near future problems.

The Problem

Our Solution

Challenging transportation

Conventional tall towers are difficult, if not impossible, to transport.

Simple transport

Modules can be transported easily.

As wind turbine towers have risen above 100 metres in height, transportation poses considerable problems, not least that the base diameters exceed the limit for transport width in most parts of the USA and the EU. Our modular concept means the towers are delivered to site in – tada – modules!

Transporting modules means the possibility to use standard trucks with more routes becoming accessible. It reduces transport costs and simplifies planning, and means tall towers can be delivered to any site.

Cost limits the height

Towers are not built at optimal height as height is associated with high costs.

Now, it's profitable to go high

The higher the tower the more cost efficient it is to build in wood.

Although the market would like to build taller towers, the cost of building tall towers in traditional materials is too expensive. The extra height squeezes the margins to the point that energy producers end up choosing shorter, less-efficient, towers.

Our solution uses engineered wood that is lighter although as strong as steel. That means extra height no longer comes with expensive reinforcements or maintenance. Building higher finally becomes both more efficient and cost-effective. In fact, using a wooden modular solution only becomes more beneficial the higher you go.

CO2-intensive materials

Steel and concrete are responsible for 15% of global CO2 emissions.

Enhanced sustainability

Modvion provides a carbon-negative tower, storing more carbon than it produces.​

Modvion towers are built from laminated wood, where the wood itself stores carbon. In fact a wooden tower stores more carbon than it emits during production, transport and installation, making the tower carbon negative. Conventional towers are responsible for the biggest share of CO2 emissions in a wind turbine due to the use of materials like steel and concrete, that are responsible for approximately 15% of global CO2 emissions*. Simply by switching the tower you can reduce emissions for the entire wind turbine by around 25%.

Why we do it

We don’t make wooden towers just because we love wood. It’s simply the best way to do it.
