We’re challenging the potential within wood

Modvion is a tech company – focusing on engineered wood

We are challenging the potential within wood. This precious material should be used strategically and replace concrete and steel whenever appropriate. It simply does the job better whilst lowering levels of CO2.

 

 

Why we do it

What is being done here is disruptive: Replacing steel and concrete with wood – when possible – is a hyper intelligent way to make wind power almost free from carbon emissions.

It’s a big team effort. When we succeed, we enable taller wind power towers and increase their ability to produce electricity. That is groundbreaking.

 

The idea

 

We believe that wooden towers certainly will be a great part of the next generation of wind power.

We are equally excited over the technical potential in the wooden fibre and the additional function as a carbon sink.

”Steel towers will need to adapt if they want to remain the main choice”

 

– Bloomberg, 2020.05.06

We are going places

This is our R&D facility.

The production line developed here will later be reproduced in all parts of the world. The global need for tall wind turbine towers is more than 30 000 units per year*. We are aiming for a considerable chunk of that market.
