Zweden gaat zijn overvloedig gekweekt hout nu meer zelf gebruiken om mee te bouwen.

https://electrek.co/2020/05/07/swede...-wind-turbine/ Johan Åhlén, CEO of Moelven Töreboda, said: Wood has fantastic properties and we need to build much more in wood if we are to meet the climate goals. For us, it is hugely inspiring to participate in this pilot project where we have been able to use renewable wood in a design for the production of renewable energy. The first commercial wooden towers will be built from 2022. Modvion has signed declarations of intent with renewables company Varberg Energi for a 110-meter tower and wind turbine builder Rabbalshede Kraft for 10 towers that are at least 150 meters high. Otto Lundman, CEO of Modvion, said: This is a major breakthrough that paves the way for the next generation of wind turbines. Laminated wood is stronger than steel at the same weight and by building in modules, the wind turbines can be taller. By building in wood, we also reduce carbon dioxide emissions in manufacturing. Further, the carbon dioxide absorbed by trees as they grow is stored in the wooden towers, which means that the wind turbines are climate-neutral right from the start. Photo: Modvion |

https://www.metsawood.com/global/new...n-storage.aspx Wood construction battles climate change through carbon storage One of the most important ways to mitigate climate change is to find new ways of capturing carbon from the atmosphere. As the building sector contributes up to 30% of global annual greenhouse gas emissions, it plays a vital role in battling climate change. Wood construction is a part of the solution, as timber products lock approximately 1 ton of CO2 per 1 m3 of wood.
