3 – A new wood structure intended to hold a wind turbine is as strong as steel

Modvion built an experimental wooden wind turbine tower on Bjorko island near the city of Gothenburg and said it would make the power production technology climate-neutral from the start. It is the highest object of its kind in Europe so far.
